Water Programs

Water is a vital resource in California, essential for sustaining communities, our food systems, and ecosystems. California Climate Investments include water-related programs that enhance water conservation and efficiency while ensuring equitable access to safe water statewide. These initiatives include appliance upgrades to replace water technologies with efficient alternatives, direct aid efforts to provide safe, affordable drinking water to communities in need, repairing and updating water infrastructure for reliable access, and upgrading agricultural irrigation systems to optimize water use, which bolsters crop resilience and reduces environmental impacts. These investments reflect California's broader commitment to climate resilience and sustainability, empowering Tribal Governments, local governments, non-profits, communities, and businesses to implement effective water strategies.
