This panel discussion will provide a brief overview of the Hawai‘i Water Plan Framework, its update process, and how it aims to foster a more adaptive and integrated approach to water and land use planning. Following the overview, a facilitated discussion will engage water and land use professionals, including representatives from CWRM, county water departments, and county planning departments in meaningful dialogue aiming to improve inter-agency collaboration and reflect on the utility of the Hawaiʻi Water Plan and strategies to close the gap between water and land use planning.
