The Merced Integrated Regional Water Management (Merced IRWM) program is a collaborative effort led by the City of Merced, County of Merced, Merced Irrigation District, City of Atwater, and City of Livingston. Their goal is to improve coordination and management of water resources in the Merced region, focusing on issues such as groundwater overdraft, flood management, water quality, and natural resource protection. Through the development of an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, they aim to address the long-term water needs of the region and secure funding for local and regional projects.
In addition to the IRWM program, the Merced region is also working on a Stormwater Resources Plan (SWRP) to prioritize stormwater-related projects and capture opportunities for state bond funding. The SWRP focuses on watershed-based stormwater priorities, including storm drainage improvements, flood protection, and reducing impervious surfaces. By implementing these plans and objectives, the Merced region aims to ensure the sustainable management of water resources, protect the environment, and meet the diverse water needs of the community.
