Water Planning

The OWRB is responsible for coordinating decadal updates of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan (OCWP) and subsequently managing recommended initiatives, studies, and projects. The OCWP outlines the state’s strategy for maintaining reliable water supplies, which will ensure sustained certainty for investment, economic growth, and environmental stability. It identifies long-term needs for each of Oklahoma's 13 planning regions, assesses potential challenges, highlights opportunities, and proposes strategies and sustained funding to develop key water resources that support Oklahoma’s competitiveness in the national market.
