Comment Writing Party: Virtual Info Session on Tucson Water’s 2100 Plan

Get the inside scoop from WMG staff and then write your comments on Tucson Water’s long-range water resource management plan that aims to protect the reliability and quality of Tucson's water supply through 2100. The Plan looks at managing Tucson's water supply holistically-as One Water-and is intended to serve as a guide for Tucson Water's capital planning and conservation practices.
This is our critical opportunity to ensure we restore and protect groundwater and surface water as part of our One Water Plan. WMG staff have identified a few areas that need more emphasis in the plan and our Executive Director Lisa Shipek and Program Director Catlow Shipek will go into more detail during this virtual event about these areas and what we hope to see in the plan to ensure a hydro-local future for the Tucson community. We will also discuss the importance of and how to make comments on the plan itself.
You can make comments on this plan (tucsononewater.com/plan-resource) until July 21st, 2023.

Love the work, i can see all the thought behind the process. Moving forward, it would be great to have a "what happens when X pollutes the waterway. Im thinking about pollution, runoff, forever chemicals, or just even high amounts of waste that would contribute to a poorer ecosystem, and by default, everyone is worse off. My recommendation is to use as specific wording as possible with as many loopholes closed, or at least an EXTREMELY EASY process to change problems, because there will always be problems with the best plans. You are going to get sued into oblivion by the big chemical companies or developers who have different priorities, my recommendation is to give them space to do their thing with your requirements. For example, you can build this luxury condo building here but because its within 1 mile of the nearest creek you must sign this contract to support XYZ. I hope everyone working on the policy is working with scientists from biologists, chemists, physicists, city planners, engineers, etc to understand not only the 50-year impact but the 250-year impact. What future does Tuscon have with a plan like this? Does the plan account for population boom and busts, for redevelopment, for not only plant and animal diversity but insect diversity, for microcosmos diversity, for bacteria and fungus diversity in the ecosystem. You are gonna get shit on if you decide to go too conservative and you are gonna be ignored if its too ambitious, but the ambitious plans are the ones that will quietly make you a top-notch city. Good luck
