The Tuolumne River Trust works with an alliance of
community and environmental organizations -- the Bay Area Water
Stewards -- to promote a sustainable water plan that invests in water
conservation and environmental stewardship.
Highlights of our
accomplishments include convincing the SFPUC to:
- Drop plans to divert an additional 25 million gallons of water per day from the Tuolumne River, and instead meet future demand through water conservation and recycling until at least 2018.
- Forego plans to construct a new 47-mile pipeline under the San Joaquin Valley that would have allowed 50% more water to be diverted from the Tuolumne River
- Establish a $50 million Watershed and Environmental Improvement Program.
