On Thursday, April 23, 2009, the Little Hoover Commission will conduct a public hearing on water governance. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in Room 437 of the State Capitol in Sacramento.
In this study, the Commission is examining the management and governance of California’s water supply. At this hearing, the Commission will learn about the current conditions surrounding the state’s water supply, its management and issues related to it. The Commission will hear an overview from a professor of civil and environmental engineering at UC Davis. The chair of the Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force will speak on lessons for water governance that stem from its two-year Delta study. The assistant general manager for the nonprofit organization State Water Contractors will discuss transparency and accountability. A senior consulting attorney for the Environmental Defense Fund will discuss balancing environmental needs and ensuring the role of public interest. Finally, a water policy advisor with the Planning and Conservation League will look ahead to future management of water resources.
There will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the hearing. The Commission also encourages written comments.
Immediately following the hearing, the Commission will hold its business meeting.
