Explore the Sacramento River and its tributaries through a scenic
landscape while learning about the issues associated with a
key source for the state’s water supply.
All together, the river and its tributaries supply 35 percent of
California’s water and feed into two major projects: the State
Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project.

We are marking the 25th anniversary
of our California Water

alums dating back to 1997 when the program first began.
If you have gone through our program, registration is now
open for our reunion on Oct. 26, from 4 p.m. to

holding it in Sacramento along the American River in a rustic,
relaxed setting with lawn games, happy hour and dinner.
Our 2022 Water Summit, the Water Education Foundation’s premier
event of the year, features engaging conversations about
critical issues impacting water statewide and across the
West revolving around this year’s theme:
Rethinking Water in the West.
The in-person event will be hosted on Thursday, October 27, at
The Westin Sacramento and includes an evening reception
along California’s largest and longest river, the Sacramento
River, for an opportunity to network with speakers and other
attendees.
Travel along the San Joaquin River to learn firsthand about one
of the nation’s largest and most expensive river restoration
projects.
The San Joaquin River was the focus of one of the most
contentious legal battles in California water history,
ending in a 2006 settlement between the federal government,
Friant Water Users Authority and a coalition of environmental
groups.
