Whereas, The LWVC water position states under Planning
and Management of Water Resources that one of the goals is to support
measures that "protect the natural environment in areas of both water
origin and water use" (l.b.); and
Whereas, Conjunctive use involves treating aquifers as reservoirs
for water management, thus threatening intact aquifers by allowing massive
water exports from the basin of origin; and
Whereas, Aquifer protection is critical for the sustainability
of statewide water resources; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the LWVC Board direct the Natural Resources Chair
and the Water Program Directors to examine the existing LWVC water position
and sustainability policy to determine whether they allow action to
protect aquifers at basins of origin.
