The 2040 WRIS shall develop a 2040 WRIS Plan to identify long-term

The 2040 WRIS Plan shall recommend short-term measures to strengthen
public water distribution systems against these long-term risks, including,
but not limited to, the development of well placement criteria, mechanism
for hardening water distribution system infrastructure in coastal
areas and loss mitigation strategies, including methods for isolating
vulnerable portions of distribution system during an event.
