Description: 

Drought periods are hard times for those affected. Whether your source water is from a river, reservoir, or a well, communities continue to be affected at serious and dangerous levels. Conservation practices as a way of life are becoming normal practice in California due to the severity of what the state has been through in recent times. The continuing efforts of the state, cities and counties are indicators that these practices are here to stay, in preparation for possible dry years to come. This presentation will show attendees how to assess drought-related vulnerabilities in their systems and communities, and give knowledge on drought monitoring, preparedness and regulations.

Participants will learn:

·        Where to find climate information

·        How to determine triggers for different drought stages 

·        Best practices to reduce water use, making water conservation a way of life in your community

·        How to develop a drought management plan & obtain public buy-in

·        Useful tools & resources to keep up with current & new regulations

Operator Basics Series: The recommended audience includes operators, managers, & elected officials.

This training will be hosted online on GoToTraining.
