This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the California Urban Water
Conservation Council, and California's climate change challenges. California's 20 by 2020 Plan, a seven-part
comprehensive plan for improving the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, is presented. As part of
the plan, the Governor directed state
agencies to prepare and implement a
program to achieve a 20 percent reduction in
urban statewide average per capita water use
by year 2020. The program is focused solely on
urban use reductions, and on the
urban demand of potable water. Elements of the program that are presented include: baseline data; proposed targets; and, the existing BMPs that encourage
conservation. Final report recommendations: establish a foundation for a
statewide conservation strategy; reduce landscape irrigation demand; reduce water waste; reinforce efficiency codes and
related BMPs; provide financial incentives; implement a statewide conservation
public information and outreach
campaign; provide new or exercise existing
enforcement mechanisms to
facilitate water conservation. Implementation barriers and recommendations are provided. Includes tables, figures.
