Resource Management Strategies
This section discusses the Resource Management Strategies that were considered for incorporation into the IRWM Plan, as well as the process by which they were selected. Resource Management Strategies (RMS) are provided by the California Water Plan and are developed to help local agencies and governments manage their water resources.
RMS were reviewed and selected for incorporation into the IRWM Plan based on their applicability to the region, potential to address climate change impacts, and ability to meet at least one of the IRWMP objectives.
