What is an IRWMP for the CABY region?

Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP)

Cosumnes, American, Bear and Yuba Watersheds (CABY)

It is a planning document that identifies broadly-supported goals, objectives, strategies, actions and projects within the CABY region to address long-term water supply needs, protection of water quality, and enhancement of environmental and habitat resources.  The IRWMP, initially informed by the various pre-existing plans in the region, will provide an integrated approach to water management across the region’s four watersheds:  Cosumnes; American; Bear; and Yuba (CABY).   Based on technical knowledge and endorsed by a united community, the resulting CABY IRWMP actions and projects will have significant opportunities to attract local, state and federal grants, as well as other financial support.
