It may be the dog days of summer but it’s a busy time at the Water Education Foundation as we prep for our fall events! 

• Space is becoming limited for one of our most popular water excursions, the three-day Northern California Tour in mid-October.
• Registration opens in just a few weeks for our premier annual event, the Water Summit, on Oct. 30 in Sacramento. Make sure you’re among the first to know this year’s theme by signing up for Foundation announcements.
• While you’re signing up for announcements, you can also sign up for our weekday water newsfeed known as Aquafornia to help you stay in the know.

Northern California Tour: October 16-18

The bus is already nearing capacity for our popular, three-day Northern California Tour that journeys across the Sacramento Valley from Sacramento to Redding with visits to Oroville and Shasta dams! Experts will talk about the history of the Sacramento River as the tour winds through riparian woodland, rice fields, wildlife refuges and nut orchards.

Participants will see how this year’s abundant precipitation has filled critical reservoirs of the State Water Project and federal Central Valley Project; explore farming and environmental water uses; visit the location of the proposed Sites Reservoir; and discuss innovations in flood management, groundwater management and salmon restoration.

Stops include Oroville and Shasta dams, Red Bluff Fish Passage Improvement Project, rice farms, Clear Creek Gorge, Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District and Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. Don’t miss out; grab your ticket here while they last!

Water Summit: October 30

Mark your calendars now for Aug. 7 for the first opportunity to reserve your spot at our Water Summit. The Water Education Foundation’s premier annual event will be hosted again in Sacramento on Wednesday, October 30, featuring leading policymakers and experts addressing critical water issues in California and across the West!

Now in its 40ᵗʰ year, the Water Summit is an ideal event for water district managers and board members, state and federal agency officials, city and county government leaders, farmers, environmentalists, attorneys, consultants, engineers, business executives and public interest groups.
