With the goals and objectives in place, the Regional Water Management Group (RWMG), the Yuba County IRWM region’s governing body, considered the full range of RMSs found in the California Water Plan. They explored which RMSs were applicable to achieve the goals and objectives of the IRWMP. This sequence was undertaken to reinforce that RMSs are tools to address regional issues and meet multiple objectives. Table 13-2 below illustrates the relationship between the Yuba County regionally identified goals and objectives and the corresponding, applicable RMS. 13-2. The Relationship Between Goals and Objectives and RMSs Goals/Objectives RMSs Goal 1: Ensure adequate and reliable water supply that meets the diverse needs of the region Improve water supply system capacity, flexibility, and Agricultural Use Efficiency efficiency, including, but not limited to, optimizing Conjunctive Management and Groundwater Storage existing water storage, upgrading and retrofitting Conveyance Delta aging infrastructure, and developing new Conveyance infrastructure, where necessary.
