The Water Resources Management work group is responsible for the drinking water source protection, environmental regulatory compliance, and general natural resource management work that is an important part of the delivery of clean drinking water to our customers. In the spring of 2012, Water Resources Management joined with the Recreation work group (who operate Loch Lomond Recreation Area) to become the Watershed Section of the City of Santa Cruz Water Department. Along with other responsibilities, Water Resource Management staff provide environmental review and regulatory compliance support for the Department; conduct biological and hydrologic surveys - including drinking water source stream gaging and anadromous fishery habitat typing/population assessments; work on the Department's Habitat Conservation Plan; manage the Department's watershed lands; develop drinking water source assessments; and perform outreach and education to other drinking water source watershed stakeholders.
