Sacramento Valley
Welcome to the Sacramento Valley. We hope you’re surprised and excited by what you discover here. Even after a lifetime, those of us who call the Valley home are amazed by its stunning beauty, thrilled by its wildlife and reassured by the character of its people.
We understand that it’s up to us to be responsible caretakers of this place. We’re in the habit of seeing what’s needed and getting it done. Especially when it comes to water, the lifeblood of our cities and towns, economy, recreation, wildlife and wild places.
This page is a joint effort of the Northern California Water Association and the California Rice Commission. Our alliance is a perfect example of the work that’s needed to preserve and protect this exceptional place. Please join us.
