IMPACT OF STATE BUDGET CRISIS New January 2
Because of California's budget crisis, the Watershed Conservation Authority has had to cut back on expenditures and reduce its staff. This will restrict our ability to conduct many activities. Among them is maintenance of this website; consequently, updates of this website will be done irregularly.
