Water Dialogue: Getting to Know Your Water Agencies & Policymakers

Water policy design and implementation is a process that involves the policymakers, the agencies that apply the policy, and the public that is subject to the policy. California has long been subject to many water policy interventions.  Opening a dialogue among the public, the water agencies, and policymakers would enhance the implementation of better and more effective water policies.

UCR Water Dialogue Goals

The long-term goal of this activity is to develop a water educational program at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) that forms a coalition between the water community, including the general public, water agencies, federal state, and local regulators, non-profits, and academic sectors to advance our involvement in California’s water resource problems and management. 

Main Objectives

The main objectives are (i) to educate the general public on water resources challenges faced by water agencies and the various actions taken by the agencies, especially activities that are unique and successful; (ii) transferring knowledge between agencies, academics, and regulators.
