The Yuba Accord is a landmark multi-agency agreement that balances the interests of environmental groups, agriculture, water agencies and hydroelectric operators relying on water from the Yuba River north of Sacramento. A tributary of the Feather River, the Yuba is the fourth-largest river in the Sacramento River watershed.

Pieced together after two decades of lawsuits, the Yuba Accord allows for freshwater flows to support native fish while also providing water for hydropower, transfers and irrigation.
