Thank you for partnering with Sustainable Conservation to get California’s next water moves right. The stakes are high – our Golden State grows over 400 different crops, some of which can’t be cultivated anywhere else in the world. Shrinking water resources also impact communities who rely on aquifers for their drinking water, and fish and wildlife who rely on water flowing dependably in rivers and streams.


Thank you for supporting our work with farmers and water managers across California to replenish parched aquifers – boosting our underground “savings account” to weather future droughts. As a result of our projects and outreach powered by our supporters, many Golden State farming leaders are uniting to promote groundwater recharge as a strategy to protect and enhance our water security.
