Watch Now: NCWA’s Annual Meeting

If you were unable to watch The Northern California Water Association’s 30th Annual Meeting live, you can now view both sessions in their entirety here.

This year’s NCWA meetings were titled “The Evolving Landscape in the Sacramento River Basin: Ridgetop to River Mouth Water Management”

Session 1 included some of California’s top water policy leaders discussing what’s being done now and for the future in our state during a third year of drought.

Session 2 is a roundtable discussion with a local water district manager and leading scientists, including the California Rice Commission’s Wildlife Programs Manager Luke Matthews, with a focus on improving upon continued efforts to harmonize the use of the Sacramento Valley between farms, fish, and fowl.
