The Department of Water Resources (DWR) was nationally recognized for its leadership in climate action and integrated water management at the 2024 American Water Resources Association (AWRA) conference in St. Louis earlier this month. DWR received two prestigious awards: the Sandor C. Csallany Institutional Award for its comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CAP), as well as accepting the Integrated Water Resources Management Award on behalf of the Flood-Managed Aquifer Recharge (Flood-MAR) Network which includes DWR and partners. These awards, received during the 60th Anniversary of AWRA, highlight DWR’s ongoing commitment to addressing climate change and enhancing California’s water resilience through collaboration, innovation, and forward-thinking strategies.
