Outcomes: the water supply picture in 2005 versus 2020 <br />Through the Council's work in partnership with stakeholders across the region, we have achieved: <br />1. Better understanding of shared water resource conditions and challenges <br />2. Subregional collaborative platform to advance water sustainability goals <br />3. Better management and long-term resiliency of shared resources <br />4. More technical and financial resources focused on regional water supply challenges <br />5. Better equipped to pursue next steps <br />The following pages highlight examples of the work that has generated the achievements above. <br />Future work <br />In addition to the ongoing implementation of the Master Plan, the Council and its partners have identified <br />some topics for further study and policy exploration. These topics arose out of the shared experience <br />accrued through the regional and local water supply work done so far (summarized in part on pages 12- <br />13). <br />At recent meetings of the Council's Environment Committee, MAWSAC and TAC, and the Land Use <br />Advisory Committee (LUAC), these questions were raised: <br />• How could equity be implemented in water supply activities? <br />• What is the impact of climate change on our resources and operations in the water supply <br />sector? <br />• How can we strengthen land use and water supply planning connections? <br />• What can we do to prevent contamination of our water supply sources and respond more <br />effectively to emerging contamination (recent examples: PFAS, chloride)? <br />By supporting local leadership and collaboration, our shared water supplies will sustain us <br />through the challenges ahead. <br />Page - 17 I METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br />
