Mark Holmes
Water Manager, Town of Chino Valley

The word sustainability is mentioned in virtually every presentation pertaining to water resources, but what is true water resource sustainability?   It means different things to different people.  How can we agree on a definition and what strategies will achieve it?  Chino Valley is at the tipping point; it must come up with a water resource sustainability plan for the community's current and future health, welfare, and quality of life.  Chino Valley recognizes that one size does not fit all regarding the dynamic and critical management of water resources throughout the State, but we would like to share our sustainability strategies and lessons-learned as one of the most critically water challenged communities in the State.  We hope that others may find specific ideas useful in their current or future water resource planning.
