The Human Right to Water Framework and Data Tool (CalHRTW 1.0) provides a consolidated,
stand-alone, quantitative assessment of baseline conditions in the quality, accessibility and
affordability of California’s drinking water. This assessment can help screen for drinking water
challenges and analyze changes over time and complements existing cumulative impacts
analyses (e.g., CalEnviroScreen (OEHHA, 2021b)) by providing information at a greater level of
detail regarding drinking water.
