Water Partnerships between Cities and Farms in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley

The San Joaquin Valley and urban Southern California are worlds apart, but each faces growing water challenges. Both regions’ water futures could be more secure if they take advantage of shared water infrastructure to jointly develop and manage some water supplies.

This research was supported with funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation, the Water Funder Initiative Campaign, and a consortium of San Joaquin Valley Farmers.
