Template

structured framework designed to guide public agencies and consumers in managing water resources during periods of drought. It is organized into four phases, each representing different drought stages based on the percentage of water shortage.

This document is a template for a drought contingency plan for a tribal public water system. The template covers a broad list of sections and topics with the aim of being applicable for a majority of the water systems. Because tribal water systems vary throughout the state (e.g. in complexity, water source, number of customers, etc.), it is recommended that the tribe edit and modify the template to best fit their specific situation and context, and only include those sections that are necessary.
