About this organization
Mission
Sustainable Conservation believes promoting a healthy environment can also be good for business. Our award-winning climate, air, water and wildlife initiatives promote practical solutions that produce tangible benefits for California and its people. Founded in 1993, Sustainable Conservation's effectiveness lies in building strong alliances with business, agriculture and government – and establishing models for environmental and economic sustainability that can be replicated across California and beyond.
About
Water Management - Water is in short supply in California. Sustainable Conservation evaluates new water management approaches so farms, the environment, and communities have the water they need for years to come. We work in the agriculture-rich Central Valley to evaluate and promote the capture of storm water flood flows on active farmland to replenish groundwater aquifers, California's most important drought reserve. In 2019, we helped recharge hundreds of acre-feet of water on Central Valley farmland. We also continued to perfect our innovative Groundwater Recharge Assessment Tool, which helps California irrigation districts and water managers maximize groundwater-recharge opportunities in their communities.
