Whereas, the investments provided for in the bond measure will help California
prepare for the expected increase of 18 million people by the year 2020 through a variety of
clean water, watershed, flood protection, and water supply programs; and
Whereas, Proposition 13 includes approximately $25 million to fund the Santa Ana
Watershed Project Authority that will augment the city's Vision 2020 project and the San

Whereas, If adopted by the voters, Proposition 13 will provide tangible water benefits
for people in nearly every city and county in the state, and better protect our communities from
the devastation of both floods and droughts; and

investments in the state's water infrastructure.
