Join the Water Education Foundation as we guide you on a virtual exploration of the Sacramento River and its tributaries and learn 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.

This three-hour virtual tour hosted by Nick Gray and Jenn Bowles will include:

• An overview presentation of the Sacramento Valley
• An hour-long video tour of key stops in the Sacramento Valley
• Live Q&A with the speakers in chat rooms where participants can dive deeper into the topics

Topics Include:

• Oroville Dam and its repaired spillway
• Flood management
• Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
• Voluntary Agreements
• Restoration of endangered Chinook salmon
