The California Water Plan: long-term supply targets.

California SB72 updates the state's Water Code to set long-term water supply targets. It aims to improve water management and ensure sustainable water resources for the future. The bill repeals outdated sections and adds new provisions to enhance planning and accountability in water supply.

Supporters of SB72 would highlight its proactive approach to addressing California's water challenges. They would emphasize that the bill establishes clear, long-term goals for water supply, promoting sustainability and resilience in the face of climate change and population growth.

Critics of SB72 may argue that the bill does not go far enough in addressing the urgent water crisis facing California. They could express concerns that the long-term targets may be too vague and lack immediate solutions to current water scarcity issues, potentially leaving communities vulnerable.
