About Integrated Regional Water Management
Regional collaboration can promote a more efficient, comprehensive, and effective approach to water resource management while being responsive within a regional context to the needs of individual communities and jurisdictions. In addition, as State funding is becoming more oriented toward regional planning, it is in the Greater Los Angeles County Region's best interests to develop an IRWMP to successfully compete for future funding opportunities. The Greater Los Angeles County Region IRWMP will serve as the blueprint to facilitate this type of regional cooperation.

Today, local agencies, organizations, cities, and county government are working together to develop an IRWMP for the Region that is inclusive and provides opportunities for cost effective solutions to address the water resource needs of the Region.

The Region's IRWMP is being developed under the following framework:

  • Each sub-region has a steering committee which serves as the sub-regional decision making-body with input from a broad stakeholder group.
  • A Leadership Committee then provides overall guidance to the steering committees and the region-wide planning effort.
  • The Leadership Committee is comprised of eleven members consisting of the Chair of each Sub-regional Steering Committee (five members) and a representative of each of the five broad water management strategies. The eleventh member is the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, which acts as the Chair of the Leadership Committee.
  • The overall Program Manager for the IRWMP planning effort is the Los Angles County Flood Control District. The District is also the recipient of grants for the planning effort and responsible for managing all aspects of the grants.
  • West and Central Basin Municipal Water Districts have the fiscal and accounting responsibilities for the non-grant funds for the planning effort and for paying the consultant that has been hired to facilitate the planning effort.

The plan is being funded by Proposition 50, Chapter 8 grants administered by the State Department of Water Resources, totaling $1.5 million, and generous contributions from local governments and agencies.
