Anderson on water


question: 
Some areas of the county struggle with chronic water shortages. How would you balance that problem with development pressures?
answer: 

Water storage should be a priority for the region. In addition, conservation efforts and ground water recharge must be encouraged. Water must be a major consideration as we plan for future growth. Future developments must be required to deal with the related water demands before they are approved. As the county updates its general plan and identifies areas for future growth, water availability and impacts to ground water levels must be a major consideration.
