Nearly 40 organizations across the Sacramento region are beginning the formal process of approving the Water Forum 2050 Agreement, a major milestone in advancing the next generation of regional water management. … “Twenty-five years ago, the region made a bold decision to move past disagreement and commit to a shared approach for protecting the Lower American River and securing reliable water supplies,” said Water Forum Executive Director Ashlee Casey. “Water Forum 2050 strives for the same level of foresight. Our goal is that 25 years from now, people will view this agreement with the same confidence and appreciation we have for the original.”
