Not sure which district is your water provider?
Water is our most precious resource. We need it to replenish our bodies, grow food, maintain lawns and landscapes, and produce everything from hamburgers to computers. The environment also depends on water to keep forests, rivers and streams healthy and support fish and wildlife.
Because the Sacramento region is blessed with two major rivers, it would be easy to think that our water supply is endless. But it's important to remember that people, farms and businesses in many parts of the state rely on those rivers to meet their daily needs for water. Fish such as salmon and steelhead also depend on the rivers for their survival.
That's why we need to use water wisely. We simply can't afford to waste even small amounts of water. In California, we know we must be as water efficient as possible, and kids can help.
