AWRA CALIFORNIA (NORCAL) STATE SECTION

摘要

In February, the NorCal State Section, in collaboration with the Water Foundation and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, convened a 27-person, multi-sector working session on Managed Retreat. The premise of managed retreat is that the natural resources community can already identify areas that will be (or already are) at high risk to hazardous conditions and episo dic stressors, and therefore, it is responsible to use that foresight to reduce future harm to humans and ecosystems. In the water sector, this topic is of particular concern to floo d managers and those responsible for coastal resources. In recent years, catastrophic wildfire has emerged as a critical water sector concern.
