Growing More Using Less
The Sacramento River Settlement Contractors have been widely recognized for their leadership in holistic water management. Our farmers, ranchers and city leaders have invested in system-wide improvements, embraced conjunctive management of surface water and groundwater, and adopted innovative techniques that increase water-use efficiency while protecting natural resources. We see these steps as a win-win by allowing farmers to grow more food with less water while still balancing other needs of the valley.
