The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Truenow, expresses strong support for adopting a One Water approach to water resource management in Florida. This approach emphasizes the importance of collaborative, integrated, and resilient systems for planning and funding water resource projects. The resolution highlights the critical role of water in ensuring human health, economic prosperity, and environmental sustainability, particularly in light of Florida's growing population and increasing demand for water. It acknowledges the state's rich ecosystems and the need to address projected water shortages and water quality issues through more efficient management practices.

The resolution points out that traditional water management has often treated water supply, wastewater, and stormwater as separate entities, leading to inefficiencies. It advocates for a shift towards integrated planning and management that balances water demand, supply, and environmental protection. By endorsing the One Water strategy, the Senate encourages the holistic management of all water resources, including fresh and brackish water, stormwater, wastewater, and recycled water. This approach aims to ensure sustainable water resources that support Florida's economy, environment, and public health.
