The upcoming Napa Water Forum is the result of 3 years of work by Save Napa Valley Foundation. While creating a true collaboration of community, federal, state, and local regulators, SNVF’s goal has been to remediate over 60 barriers to assure clean, free flowing water in our rivers, creeks, and streams through a project named, Refugia.
Now, according to Lucas Patzek, Executive Director of Napa Resource Conservation District, NRCD along with Napa Flood Control, will begin implementing Refugia as early as May 2023. Consequently, The Napa Water Forum is a time to celebrate Refugia, share knowledge and hear from those who will be initiating exciting next steps; a robust monitoring system to be established due to the state mandated, Groundwater Sustainability Plan.

Save Napa Valley Foundation and its Refugia project wouldn’t be here to celebrate without ongoing support from everyone at Water Audit California and a growing partnership with Napa RCD.
To all, we say a profound Thank you!
