Oregon’s 100 Year Water Vision
- Policy Category: Drinking Water
- State: Oregon
- Date Implemented: 2019
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board created a 100-Year Water Vision with the goal of caring for “our water to ensure we have enough clean water for our people, our economy, and our environment, now and for future generations.” A guiding principle of the vision is “Improvements to our infrastructure and ecosystems come with costs. We will ensure that those costs are not disproportionately borne by those who can least afford it.” Input on the vision was garnered through interviews, community forums, technical workshops, and public comment periods.
