I wrote several months ago about San Diego’s role in the sudden downfall of the Metropolitan Water District’s general manager, Adel Hagekhalil. A workplace discrimination complaint brought him down and, among many other points, that complaint, from the then CFO, referenced his deference to San Diego board members as fiscally reckless.
Since 2005, the San Diego Integrated Regional Water Management Program has supported and funded water conservation, water quality and resource projects throughout San Diego County.
Program partners, including staff of the San Diego County Water Authority and its 24 member agencies, the California Department of Water Resources, and regional water industry leaders, met at the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College Monday to celebrate 15 years of achievements.
The program facilitates collaboration on water resources planning and projects in the region by water retailers, wastewater agencies, stormwater and flood managers, watershed groups, the business community, tribes, agriculture, and nonprofit stakeholders.
