Each year, the Foundation organizes conferences, workshops
and special events devoted to specific issues surrounding water.
The Foundation’s annual Water Summit, typically held in the
fall, features speakers from various interest groups, the
state Legislature and governmental agencies who play important
roles in making policy decisions about water. Other conferences
have focused on climate change, groundwater, the Delta, flood
management and drought. We also host an annual Water 101
workshop as well as other workshops. Some conferences are
conducted in partnership with state agencies and other
organizations.
More of our 2026 event dates will be announced
soon! Make sure you’re among the first to hear about
them and other event details by signing
up for Foundation announcements.
One of our most popular events, our annual Water 101 Workshop details the history, geography, legal and political facets of water in California as well as hot topics currently facing the state.
Go beyond the headlines and gain a deeper understanding of how water is managed and moved across the Golden State during this once-a-year opportunity from the only organization in California providing comprehensive, unbiased information about water resources across the West.
Taught by some of the leading policy and legal experts in California, the one-day workshop on March 26 gives attendees a great statewide primer on the state’s most precious natural resource.
