AB 7 x2: Global warming and water supply

Large bodies of water are both affected by, and have an effect on, climate change. And there is no doubt that California’s water supply, so heavily dependent on Sierra snowpack and runoff, will be significantly impacted by global warming. AB XX 7 (Wolk) would have enacted the Climate Change and Water Resource Protection Act of 2008, requiring state and local water agencies to incorporate climate change impacts into their local water plans and the Department of Water Resources to analyze how greenhouse gas emissions and climate change would affect, and be affected by, new water facilities, such as a reservoir or water conveyance.
