Gov. Newsom said his administration is "moving forward aggressively" to continue laying the groundwork for a water tunnel beneath California's Delta. When he leaves office, the next governor could decide the fate of his signature water project. @TarynLuna https://t.co/9kldXO6zZh

Back in Sacramento.
On behalf of SCWC, Charley is meeting with legislators to talk through key issues like investing in and rehabilitating the state water system, along with water rights.
It’s about how we represent you, but just as important, how you stay engaged with your public officials and be part of the conversation.
Back at it again tomorrow with more.
And yes… it rained. There’s water in Sacramento.

Charley is at the Water Law Conference at the DoubleTree LA Hotel, joining Jennifer Pierre to speak with water attorneys about the State Water Project, Bay-Delta issues, and why they matter for Southern California.
The conversation focused on improving adaptive management and ensuring the water system can operate with the flexibility needed to keep supplies reliable and affordable.
Charley joked that he was there as the comic relief, but the discussion itself was anything but light. Conversations like this help connect policy, law, and operations so the water community can continue moving practical solutions forward.
Thank you to BB&K, one of SCWC’s board members, for the invitation.

Water doesn’t just appear when we turn on the tap, it takes planning, partnerships, and long-term vision.
A new feature in the @VC_Reporter highlights how water districts across Ventura County are working together to plan for long-term water use and strengthen drought resilience.
At Calleguas Municipal Water District, regional collaboration and forward-thinking infrastructure help ensure reliable water for the communities we serve today and for generations to come.
We’re proud to be part of the conversation about Ventura County’s water future.

The Delta Conveyance Project will give State Water Project operators added flexibility to take advantage of excess water created by extreme weather events. A new fact sheet describes how the project would be operated in accordance with numerous regulatory and permitting processes to offset projected water losses due to climate change.

Declining runoff, rising temperatures, and increased groundwater pumping could leave the Stanislaus watershed short by tens of thousands of acre-feet of water each year.
Climate change is reshaping water management, and DWR’s Watershed Studies provide a roadmap for responding to the growing challenges.

Swings between extreme wet years and longer dry periods makes flooding unpredictable with river flows in the Calaveras watershed reaching potentially hazardous levels in roughly one out of every three years.
DWR’s Watershed Studies highlight strategies for adapting to a changing climate that can reduce flood risk, refill underground aquifers, and increase water supplies during dry times.

Walnut Grove residents and visitors may have noticed that the bio-acoustic fish fence at the mouth of Georgiana Slough is up and running for its third year of operation. A 640-foot-long barrier of bubbles lit by flashing lights and containing pulses of underwater sound, unofficially known as the “disco fence”, is again proving successful at preventing a majority of juvenile salmon from leaving the Sacramento River and entering the interior Delta where they have a diminished chance of “Stayin’ Alive”.

From water reliability to community benefits, the Delta Conveyance Project is designed to secure California’s water future. The @CA_DWR has pulled together FAQs that explain how this project helps protect supplies, support communities, and strengthen our state’s resilience.
The Newsom Administration launched an Accountability Action Plan for the Delta Conveyance Project. It includes a $200 million Community Benefits Program and measures to support residents, businesses, and tribes near construction areas.
