Exciting news for those who care about Watersheds!
The California Department of Water Resources
(www.dwr.water.ca.gov)
has created new Watershed Coordinator positions, to empower local
agencies, citizens and grassroots environmental programs to work with
state and federal partners to restore the ecological health of our
watersheds and landscapes.
There are watershed coordinators in each of the Dept of Water Resource
districts covering the entire state, who will work hand in hand with the
DWR's Urban Streams Program and the Fish Passage Program to assist
locally driven restoration and stewardship efforts.

Explore watershed issues applying Permaculture principles and design
techniques that interconnect your home and backyard to the whole
watershed. The land around your home is a vital part of the
watershed. How that land is managed -- one lot at a time-- can have
a significant impact on your city's flood protection, water supply, air
and water quality. Permaculture techniques can help control erosion,
reduce flooding, minimize water pollution, improve groundwater recharge
and enhance wildlife habitat.
