| Abstract | Long Description |
During the 2000 legislative session, the Legislature recognized the potential for additional water storage as a solution to the water supply needs of the state. As a result, a Water Storage Task Force was created. This publication is the report of the Water Storage Task Force to the legislature on its activities. The purpose of the task force was to examine the role of increased water storage in providing water supplies to meet the needs of fish, population growth, and economic development, and to enhance the protection of people's lives and their property and the protection of aquatic habitat through flood control facilities. Increased storage may be in the form of surface storage including off-stream storage, underground storage, or the enlargement or enhancement of existing structures. The task force also examined means of providing funding for increased water storage. |
