The analyst for California lawmakers advised Wednesday for the Legislature to lean into its oversight role of an upcoming water plan to firm up water supply throughout the parched state. The Legislative Analyst’s Office in its report focused on an update to the water quality control plan for the San Francisco Bay-Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. That plan will create water quality standards intended to protect fish and wildlife in the Bay-Delta, along with the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and their tributaries. … The analyst’s office noted that the State Water Resource Control Board likely will approve an updated Bay-Delta plan this year.
