It is the policy of the state to more effectively integrate its flood protection systems with its water supply and conveyance systems in order to conserve limited public dollars, increase the available water supply, improve water quality, increase wildlife and ecosystem protections, protect public health and safety, and address the effects of climate change. The purpose of this division is to require the integration of flood protection and water systems to achieve multiple public benefits, including all of the following: (1) Increasing water supply reliability in the least costly, most efficient, and most reliable manner to meet current and future state needs; (2) increasing use of water use efficiency and water conservation measures to increase and extend existing water supplies; (3) reducing energy consumption associated with water transport, thereby reducing state greenhouse gas emissions; (4) improving water management to protect and restore ecosystems and wildlife habitat.
