El Dorado County Champions Multi-Jurisdictional Approach for Water Conservation At EDWA Plenary

Water is essential, and El Dorado County is working to ensure its future through multijurisdictional watershed projects. The recent Countywide Plenary for Water, hosted by theEl Dorado Water Agency (EDWA), brought together leaders to discuss strategies for protecting the county’s headwaters, which provide food, clean water, and flood protection.

Challenges like natural disasters and changing weather patterns are increasing, threatening the watershed. The plenary focused on advancing projects that address a wide range of interests and benefits. Rebecca Guo, General Manager of theEl Dorado Water Agency, explained that the Programmatic Watershed Plan provides a roadmap, and the goal is to better understand barriers and strengthen partnerships to implement innovative solutions for large-scale projects.

The plenary stressed the importance of unity, recognizing that large projects cannot be handled by one organization alone. The event focused on proactive planning and the need for networks to support watershed conservation efforts while also addressing financial, regulatory, and social challenges.

Discussions also highlighted the potential for collaboration. Panelists like Kathleen McIntyre of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and JoAnna Lessard from the Yuba Water Agency shared successful partnerships that improved forest health and water quality, encouraging attendees to form alliances for environmental and community-focused projects.
