Description
This program funds efforts to address critical issues of water quality, availability, and affordability in California, especially in marginalized communities such as those in the San Joaquin Valley. The initiative supports solutions for groundwater contamination linked to agricultural runoff, policy advocacy to ensure equitable access, and efforts to make water more affordable for low-income households. Projects should empower affected residents to participate in decision-making and aim to create lasting improvements in access to clean, safe drinking water.
