You can access the document by clicking on and downloading the PDF (IWRS Draft Recommended Actions [PDF 7.46MB]), or by visiting the IWRS project website, where you can download and print the document in its entirety or as individual sections: http://www.wrd.state.or.us/OWRD/LAW/Integrated_Water_Supply_Strategy.shtml. The document contains a brief introduction and an invitation to participate in this process. It also contains a series of 12 bulletins, each with some background information, draft recommended actions, and a list of online resources for additional information on the topic. The 12 bulletin topics are as follows: Bulletin 1: Understanding Oregon's Water Resources / Supplies Bulletin 2: Understanding Oregon's Out-of-Stream Needs Bulletin 3: Understanding Oregon's Instream Needs Bulletin 4: The Water-Energy Nexus Bulletin 5: Climate Change Bulletin 6: The Water and Land-Use Nexus Bulletin 7: Water-Related Infrastructure Bulletin 8: Education and Outreach Bulletin 9: Funding Bulletin 10: Place-Based Approaches Bulletin 11: Water Management Bulletin 12: Ecosystem Health and Public Health Needs The document concludes with a one-page summary, containing all of the draft recommended actions at-a-glance. We encourage you to take this opportunity to offer your thoughts and suggestions on this draft list of recommended actions. The recommended actions reflect the themes and issues heard during the 2010 Open House events, stakeholder workshops, Advisory Group meetings, and online surveys. As you think about the issues currently facing your community, consider the following questions: 1. Would these specific actions help to address such problems? 2. Are there other recommended actions that would be more effective in your community? Please elaborate. 3. Are there recommended actions on this list whose unintended consequences (side effects) would outweigh the benefits? Please elaborate. Please send your responses directly to the Project Team at waterstrategy at state.or.us or mail to: Attn: Water Strategy, c/o the Oregon Water Resources Department, 725 Summer Street N.E., Suite A, Salem, Oregon 97301. Responses are needed by Wednesday, August 31, 2011. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me through waterstrategy at state.or.us or by phone: 503-986-0911.
