What are potential outcomes from the overall effort?
Managing our vital water resources is most efficient and effective when performed cooperatively, rather than individually. In addition, as state funding is becoming more oriented toward regional planning, it is in the Inyo-Mono region’s best interests in order to successfully compete for future funding opportunities. The Inyo-Mono IRWMP will serve as the blueprint to facilitate this type of regional cooperation. Specific outcomes that might result from the process include: * Developing a regional plan that considers multipurpose projects that are more affordable even without grants. * Leveraging existing work for future funding from State Proposition 84. * Solidifying collaborative working relationships with other entities in the region. * Setting priorities that must have broad acceptance to attract sustained funding and implementation. * Providing access to funds for regional priority project types (most anything water related). * Allowing regional prioritization of important project
