Workshop Topic
The Local Government Commission and the Bay Area Water Forum is proud to present a workshop of Linking Land Use and Water in the Bay Area.

How and where we grow has a direct impact on the quality and reliability of water in California. How can communities align local planning and development practices with efforts to protect, manage and restore water resources? How can we accommodate growth in the region while protecting water supplies, reducing flood risks, complying with new regulations, and minimizing the impacts of development on water resources?

At this full-day workshop, we'll examine ways to link water and land use to advance sustainable development in the San Francisco Bay Area. Join local officials, experts in land use planning and site design, water resource professionals, and natural resource management officials in this full day workshop covering the important topic of integrated water and land use planning. Participants will learn how strategies such as Smart Growth and Low Impact Development can be applied to align development practices and water resource protection, and how to maximize the efficient use of water resources in our growing communities.

This workshop is sponsored by the California Water Boards with Proposition 50 funding.
