** In response to the 2005 CA State Water Plan

http://www.waterplan.water.ca.gov/

the SD regional water suppliers, the 
County Water Authority (CWA), the County (CoSD), and City of SD (SD) formed a Regional Water Management Group (RWMG) and a 
Regional Advisory Committee (RAC) of 25 stakeholders by 2007
the first Truly Consensus-Based Decision-Making Body in San Diego.
 

**In 2007, they produced the first 
Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) which guided the selection of Project for State Prop 50 Water Bond money.

The SD IRWMP RAC is just now beginning it's first update, which will build upon these latest State and Met Updates, as well as Local Lessons Learned about being more collaborative.
