IWRS Discussion Draft

The following Discussion Draft features Recommended Actions in a dozen water‐related categories and provides a blueprint for the State of Oregon to follow, as it strives to understand and meet its water needs, now and in the future. These Recommended Actions span topics from developing new water supply to enhancing streamflows, from growing Oregon businesses to protecting the waters that make Oregon a great place to live.
 
We invite you to read through this Discussion Draft and provide any suggestions or comments you care to make by Thursday, March 15, 2012 to waterstrategy@wrd.state.or.us

Open House & Workshop Results
The Integrated Water Resources Strategy (IWRS) Project Team conducted workshops and held open house events throughout the state over the past year.  These events were largely aimed at gathering local input to inform the development of the strategy.  Participants also had an opportunity to provide their input through a survey.  Responses gathered from these events are summarized in this document:  IWRS 2010 Public Input Results.  The Open House photos can be accessed here: 2010 Visual Summary.
