WRD Climate Resiliency Plan
The Draft WRD Climate Resiliency Plan is now available for public review and comment.
The Water Replenishment District is developing a district-wide Climate Resiliency Plan to assess the potential impacts of climate change on facilities and operations. The plan will identify strategies for mitigation and adaptation, serving as a long-term guide to help WRD reduce risk and build resilience across its systems.
WRD invites groundwater pumpers, community-based organizations, stakeholders, and members of the public to review the draft plan and provide feedback. Your comments will help inform the Climate Resiliency Plan before it is finalized.
The Draft WRD Climate Resiliency Plan is available for a 30-day public comment period.
Comment Period: July 2, 2026 - August 1, 2026
Comments may be submitted by email to info@wrd.org with the subject line "Draft Climate Resiliency Plan Comments."
Background:
The Water Replenishment District (WRD) is developing a district-wide Climate Resiliency Plan to assess how climate change may impact its facilities, operations, and groundwater systems and to identify strategies that strengthen resilience across WRD’s service area.
This plan will serve as a long-term roadmap to help WRD reduce climate-related risks, adapt to changing conditions, protect local groundwater supplies, and support reliable water service for the communities it serves. The Climate Resiliency Plan will also enhance WRD’s competitiveness for climate and infrastructure funding.
Community- and Pumper-Informed Planning
WRD is committed to a transparent and inclusive planning process that actively involves groundwater pumpers and community-based organizations. Through a series of workshops and engagement activities, WRD is gathering input to help shape resiliency strategies that reflect:
- Regional and local priorities
- Operational considerations for groundwater management
- Community perspectives on climate impacts and adaptation
Feedback received during the January 28, 2026, workshops will be documented and used to refine the draft Climate Resiliency Plan. Follow-up sessions will provide participants with opportunities to see how their input informed the final strategies.

All materials are provided to support informed participation and ensure transparency throughout the planning process.
