This workshop is being held to promote consistent water resource planning in the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) planning area. The CFWI encompasses five counties: Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole and southern Lake.

Through the CFWI, the three water management districts are working collaboratively with other agencies and stakeholders to implement effective water resource planning, including water resource and supply development and management strategies to protect, conserve and restore our water resources.
