These, and other new proposals, are the result of interest group discussions, task force reports, Commission discussions, and public participation. These new strategies represent our hope for tomorrow's water management. By bringing together dedicated staff, broad interests, policy, law, and the necessary funding, Oregon's water management will enter the new century with the promise of sustaining a healthy resource, a vibrant economy, and the quality of life cherished by all Oregonians. For each strategy, the plan outlines management priorities, and legislative and budget proposals. Management priorities guide the agency toward setting specific tasks and timelines.
Legislative proposals consist of changes in law needed to better implement a core strategy.
Budget proposals are requests for additional funds necessary to carry out the strategy.
