Welcome to the web site of the Riverside County Water Task Force. Thank you for taking an interest in water issues that affect our region.

The water we use in our arid Riverside County climate is limited due to persistent drought conditions and highly constrained pumping in the Bay Delta---from which Southern California receives much of its water supply. Smart adaptations to our landscaping choices, the use of more efficient irrigation components, and the elimination of water waste will ensure adequate water supply into the future.
The Riverside County Water Task Force was formed specifically to tackle water availability issues on a collaborative, regional basis. The Task Force is a consortium of a diverse public, private, and quasi-public agencies. Our current efforts include:
The Mission of the Riverside County Water Task Force is to ensure reliability, sustainability, and quality of the water resources within Riverside County through stakeholder communication and regional collaboration.
Regards, John Rossi, Task Force Chairman and WMWD General Manager
