Maximize pursuit of flood risk management. To begin to meet the challenges associated with these six water management tools, the CWAP sets forth the following Actions that must be taken statewide by all water management and planning entities: Actions 1. Make conservation a California way of life; 2. Increase regional self-reliance and integrated water management across all levels of government; 3. Achieve the co-equal goals for the Delta; a. Providing a more reliable water supply for California , and b. Protect, restore and enhance the Delta ecosystem 4. Protect and restore important ecosystems; 5. Manage and prepare for dry periods; 6. Expand water storage capacity and improve groundwater management; 7. Provide safe water for all communities; 8. Increase flood protection; 9. Increase operational and regulatory efficiency; and 10. Identify sustainable and integrated financing opportunities. These ten actions directly correlate to the six essential water management tools identified in the CWP Update. As well, the management tools cannot achieve effective results without taking the actions identified in the CWAP. To maximize results within the Southern Sierra Region, land use and water planners, managers, and decision makers must all share the strategic vision of the necessity to collaborate, coordinate and integrate plans to achieve maximum beneficial water management results within the Southern Sierra watershed. The Southern Sierra Region is home to numerous unincorporated communities within the Fresno and Tulare County jurisdictions as shown on several figures in Chapter 3 -. The land use and water planning representatives from the various rural and urbanized communities, rural county areas, public lands and public and private water purveyors/districts serve as a link between the IRWMP and local land and water planning efforts and are encouraged to actively participate in Southern Sierra RWMG. Accordingly, many take advantage of the IRWM process to be involved in regional efforts. These representatives provide important data and information and provided critical guidance during the planning process. Further, the local agency members and interested stakeholders individually adopt this IRWMP as a separate action by the various Federal Public Land Management agencies and departments and County Boards of Supervisors. Jurisdictions of Local Plans The local planning documents are confined to the area under the Federal, State, county, city, or other local entity’s purview. For the cities and communities, the jurisdiction is
