The North State Water Alliance is hosting its second in a series of regional forums in the Capital Area focused on recent drought impacts, conservation efforts and water reliability geared to local leaders from the private and public sector.
March 31, 2014 3 to 5 p.m. at the office of Downey Brand, 621 Capitol Mall, 18th Floor, in downtown Sacramento. The meeting will unveil for the first time a set of infrastructure investments, operational assurances and regulatory requirements the Sacramento Metro Area must put in place for long-term water reliability and environmental sustainability.
Registration is required. For more information, contact Katie Bess, katie.bess@valleyvision.org or 916-325-1630.
Fire Ecosystem Forest Management & Water Yield Symposium
Water yield and Sierra forest management has emerged as a critical issue. Severe drought, increasingly massive fire incidents, fuel loaded forests, and climate change trends combined have forced re-evaluation of watershed forest management methods to increase water supply (and power production), protect forests from catastrophic fires, and build resilience to climate change effects.
Decision-makers, project implementers, water and power managers, researchers, and all stakeholders who want to know the science and economics of healthy forest and water reliability. The Fire Ecosystem Forest Management and Water Yield Symposium presents the current facts and issues from the leading researchers and demonstration project managers.
