AI Summary

  • Florida Senate Resolution (SR 1846) expressing support for a "One Water" approach to water resource management, which integrates management of fresh and brackish surface water, groundwater, stormwater, wastewater, and recycled water in a holistic and sustainable manner
  • Approximately 67 percent of Florida is categorized as a water resource caution area, and more than 2,000 waterbodies in the state are designated as impaired for water quality
  • Acknowledges that historically, water supply, wastewater, and stormwater have been managed separately, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for resource optimization
  • Encourages collaborative, integrated, and resilience-based systems approaches to planning for and funding water resource projects, aligned with the Florida One Water Commission's strategy
  • Non-binding resolution (no force of law) introduced by Senator Truenow; does not establish new programs, funding, or regulatory requirements
