While a great deal can be, and has been, accomplished on an individual or institutional level to implement water use reduction practices, public policy changes are required to provide incentives, multiply successes, and institutionalize programs. Viable policy options will identify multiple benefits (e.g., water, energy, and environmental benefits) that assure the long-term sustainability of water resources. Below are highlights of CAWSI’s efforts to build policy that supports agricultural water security in accordance with the guiding principles for sound water management strategies. Please contact Dave Runsten of the Community Alliance with Family Farmers for more information.
