Wildfire and Water Resources in the Russian River Watershed

Impacts and Resilient Management Strategies

Description: Wildfire has been knocking on the door of many water agencies throughout the West in recent years. That is especially true for Sonoma Water, where roughly 1/3 of the Russian River watershed has burned since 2017.  Come hear how Sonoma Water, in collaboration with LBNL and USGS, has conducted a multi-year monitoring study to assess wildfire impacts on water quality and how results from this study are informing water resources planning.
