The California Water Institute at Fresno State is positioning its current projects to help inform work related to California’s Proposition 4, a $10 billion climate resiliency bond that overwhelmingly passed on the November ballot.  The historic measure is the largest single climate bond in state history and includes $3.8 billion for state water projects that address drought, flood and water supply issues. The California Water Institute targets some of those key areas with two grant-funded programs already underway; the Unified Water Plan and Climate Resiliency through Regional Water Recharge in the San Joaquin Valley. … Under the Unified Water Plan, the California Water Institute partnered with Water Blueprint for the San Joaquin Valley for a two-year, $1 million project awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation to track various water projects happening across the Valley. It’s an effort to compile the information into a single, unified water plan that could inform future investments.
