Relating to a State Water Resources Management Plan

HB 3025 requires West Virginia's Secretary of Environmental Protection to develop a comprehensive State Water Resources Management Plan by November 30, 2013 (per the referenced code section). The bill mandates the collection of detailed data on surface and groundwater resources, including inventory of watersheds, assessments of current and future water use by large users (like industries and utilities), and identification of areas where demand may exceed supply in "growth counties." Key provisions include tracking water withdrawals, evaluating conflicts between uses, and reviewing existing water management policies. This plan aims to guide future infrastructure planning and resource allocation for state agencies and water users.
