Sacramento advances 25-year plan for Lower American River
The Sacramento City Council on Tuesday voted to advance a major water-management plan for the Lower American River, marking another green light the region’s key water supply partnership needs before the agreement is fully approved. Tuesday’s decision made Sacramento City Council the 21st member to give the agreement a thumbs up, with about 10 more boards and councils still to go for the powerful partnership, or the Water Forum. … The pact was designed to last through 2030 and updated then. But it soon ran up against the direct impacts of climate change, prompting the members to accelerate the timeline and push to adopt an updated plan years earlier than originally planned.
