Water Leaders Release Policy Recommendations for Promoting Green Infrastructure
Our 2023 California Water Leaders cohort completed its year with a report outlining policy recommendations for leveraging green infrastructure, such as restoring floodplains, meadows and wetlands, to help manage water statewide.
The cohort of 22 up-and-coming leaders – engineers, attorneys, planners, scientists, water managers and other professionals from water-related organizations – worked collaboratively and had full editorial control on the report.
Among the cohort’s key recommendations:
- Improve the accessibility, flexibility and long-term sustainability of funding for green infrastructure water projects.
- Streamline regulations to promote green infrastructure projects and broaden their use.
- Establish a statewide green infrastructure database to promote transparency, accountability and effectiveness.
