Sustainable Water Management Initiative Sample Clauses

Sustainable Water Management Initiative. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs launched the Sustainable Water Management Initiative in 2009 to establish minimum streamflow criteria to protect our waterways. During the last two years, a number of state agencies and outside stakeholders have gathered extensive scientific information to understand which watersheds are truly impaired, and what the principal causes of the impairment are. MassDEP will continue to work with these partners to take the scientific data and adopt rules and standards to protect these waterways. Then, the agency will implement these new roles through water withdrawal permitting under the Massachusetts Water Management Act.

Sustainable Water Management Initiative. The Sustainable Water Management Initiative (SWMI) is a key initiative that we plan to finalize by the end of 2013, and to then fully implement in the follow years. We continue working with water suppliers and environmental stakeholders to balance water supply needs for human use, with the protections needed for the habitat and the natural resources. Balancing these needs will be accomplished by defining “safe yield” and “stream flow criteria.” We’re looking to finalize the framework and to continue to test implementation of the framework via pilot programs a four communities. In 2013, these pilots will provide good data and practical implementation experience that will guide us forward as we start writing new regulations.
