What issues or concerns do you have about the watershed that we should be sure to look at as we develop a vision statement for this plan?

Not enough monitoring werlls in this area? Below DWR's recommended numbers
Confidence level in modeling inputs and outputs data collection amount of data
Tiered action plans for recharge for flows beyond outflows
Regulatory impediments to conjunctive use
Incorporating nature-based solutions
Preservation of "wild" areas on the lower river and making them more accessible for limited public use.
Native plant restoration/preservation
Wildlife protection habitat preservation
Water diversion impact on aquatic species
River has been channelized resulting in habitat loss. Restoring the riverine riparian area and floodplain connection could be explored
Barriers to anadromous fish passage
How the value of environmental habitats are captured in this program
Water rate affordability
Less water
Depleted groundwater/overwithdrawl of groundwater
Supply storage
Climate change impact on precipitation patterns
Reliable water supply w/climate change
Safe and reliable drinking water for Stockton growth/further expansion/future
Agriculture
Not enough water for crops or ranching needs
Inadequate supply to meet demand during drought years
Response
Healthy river
Account for mitigation for diversions or recharge
Respecting the ecosystem
Recreation & beauty
Funding for sustainable forest management
Fire risk management
Increased risk of wildfire impacts on wildlife & water quality
Tree management to minimize catastrophic forest fires and pollution
Lack of knowledge about watershed
Increasing public awareness of the watershed with regard to all of its users and uses
Lack of use of a resource
Community buy-in
Uninvolved community
Encouraging educators to use the watershed
Flooding during wet winters and springs, particularly warm rain on a heavy snowpack during wet years. The reservoirs were designed to primarily store snowmelt. With climate change there will be more rain and less snow, resulting in more runoff.
Surface Water connection and storm water with groundwater data for interaction. May not be sufficient.
One Water Theme - recharge using reclaimed or recycled water in the model
Responsible usage of our waste water
Unhoused influence pollution, impact, water-quality
End use
Health effects
Too much trash and human + pet waste can get washed downstream during high flows, causing water quality and habitat degradation. Addressing the homelessness problem should help resolve this problem.
Sea level rise - salt water intrusion
Too little water in the river during the summer/fall, which leads to poor water quality and habitat loss for wildlife
Restoring water quality and more natural flows
PFAS none yet detected
Poor water quality/water quality/quality
