Central Valley Tour: April 23-25
NEARLY SOLD OUT!
Our Central
Valley Tour travels the length of the San Joaquin
Valley where water supply and use have been in the national
headlines, including our first stop at San Luis
Reservoir near Los Banos. The fifth-largest
reservoir in the state has been in the news recently because
plans to raise its dam are moving forward,
which will create 130,000 acre-feet of additional water for
off-stream storage used by both the federal Central Valley
Project and California’s State Water Project.
Throughout this 3-day, 2-night tour you’ll learn directly from farmers, water managers, disadvantaged communities and others about how they’re working to meet the region’s challenges while sustaining one of the nation’s most productive agricultural regions that relies on imported surface water and diminishing groundwater. Register here before tickets are gone!
Open House & Reception: May 1
Join us May 1 for our annual open
house and reception at our office near the
Sacramento River! Whether you are new to the water world or just
