The purpose of the Water Resources Element is to ensure that future comprehensive plans are sensitive to the opportunities and limitations presented by local and regional water resources. The element will compare growth projected in the land us element to the availability of water supply resources, to water and sewer facility capacity and to the quality of receiving waters. In addition to water and sewer facility impacts, the Water Resources Element will assess the impact of the pattern of growth through an assessment of storm-water management regulations and the contribution of growth related non-point sources to receiving waters.
The last task expected of the Water Resources Element is to make recommendations within the comprehensive plan that address any constraints or issues unidentified during the planning process. The recommendations may range from the identification of new water supply sources, facility expansions, or changes to land use patterns and sensitive area protections.
