JC sent me a thumbdrive with a 490 page draft of a plan [230MB ZIP]:

The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) officially launched this Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) planning effort during a meeting in which 178 officials representing more than 100 agencies in Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties met to discuss the framework for the One Water One Watershed Plan (OWOW), a shared vision of the Watershed – a 2,650-square mile area from the San Bernardino Mountains westward to the Pacific Ocean. The goal and expectation was that this Integrated Regional Water Management Plan would be far more comprehensive than any plan that could be developed by a single agency.

I’ll let you all decide if it’s comprehensive or merely incomprehensible…

Bottom Line: Regional plans among multiple jurisdictions and authorities are hard to design — and even harder to implement!
