The California Roundtable on Water & Food Supply (CRWFS) completed an extensive review of the California Water Action Plan (WAP), Governor Brown’s five-year roadmap for the state’s journey toward long-term, sustainable water management. This executive mandate represents the first comprehensive and action-oriented agenda in California’s history. In 2016, utilizing their holistic framework, the Connectivity Approach, the CRWFS produced a white paper identifying major strengths and opportunities for implementing the WAP in a more integrated and adaptive manner for this Administration and beyond.
