Assess the potential of climate impacts on water infrastructure.

STRATEGIES

WS-7.1 Using technically sound approaches, assess the potential for climate change impacts on each component of water infrastructure under different climate change scenarios. Develop adaptation strategies for affected systems, including infrastructure that may require replacement, reinforcement or relocation to ensure the long-term viability of the system.

WS-7.2 Coordinate among city and county government public works agencies, water utilities, drainage and water control districts, and other operators of water infrastructure to develop and maintain local and regional inventories of existing drainage and water control facilities, potable water supply wellfields, treatment and distribution systems, wastewater treatment and collection infrastructure, and septic tanks and drain fields.
