§ 13141 Water Quality Plan Integration

Key Takeaways

  • •California has rules to keep water clean, and these rules are part of the big California Water Plan.
  • •Before starting any new rules for farms about water, they must figure out how much it will cost and where the money will come from.
  • •The rules only start after they tell the California Legislature about them.

Example

A farm uses a lot of water and might be polluting a nearby river.

Before the government can make new rules for the farm to keep the river clean, they have to calculate how much it will cost and find the money to pay for it. Then, they tell the California Legislature about the new rules.
