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
Leaders program this year, and planning for a
reunion this fall of alums dating back to 1997.
If you have gone through our program, save the date for
Oct. 26, roughly 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., for a reunion to mark
the special anniversary. We will be holding it in Sacramento
along the American River in a rustic, relaxed setting with lawn
games, happy hour and dinner.
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.
The ACWA 2022 Fall Conference & Exhibition is set to take

region programs and sessions covering a wide range of topics
