with HAVA Section 254(a)(12), all the 

state plans submitted for publication 

provide information on how the 

respective state succeeded in carrying 

out its previous state plan. California 

confirms that its amendments to the 

state plan were developed and 

submitted to public comment in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/ 

Document 

This report presents a series of case 

studies describing the approaches 

currently being taken by four water 

utilities in the United States to assess 

their vulnerability to climate change. 

The report is not intended to be a 

comprehensive listing of assessment 

approaches or utilities conducting 

vulnerability assessments. Rather, its 

purpose is to illustrate a range of issues 

and current approaches taken by 

selected utilities that are leaders in 

climate adaptation to understand and 

respond to climate risk. The approaches 

taken by the different utilities to assess 

their vulnerability to climate change 

range from sophisticated environmental 

modeling and scenario analysis to 

qualitative methods based on reviews of 

available literature. The case studies 

illustrate different approaches that 

reflect specific local needs and 

conditions, existing vulnerabilities, 

local partnerships, and available 

information about climate change. 

Information from these case studies will 

be of use to water utilities and other 

members of the water resources 

community to inform the development 

of strategies for understanding and 

responding to climate change. The issue 

of climate change is complex and will 

require ongoing attention and study.
