Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM)

In 2005, several partner agencies adopted the preliminary Northern Santa Cruz County Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP). This plan identifies how the partner agencies will work collaboratively to ensure sustainable water uses, reliable water supplies, better water quality, environmental stewardship, efficient urban development, protection of agriculture, and a strong economy.
