Water Forum 2023 – The Refugia Project: Napa

Water Forum 2023 will be held on March 24, 2023, at the Native Sons Hall, 937 Coombs Street, downtown Napa.

Presenters will speak to the future of county-wide integrated water and wastewater systems. Topics will include:

• the project to remove all stream obstructions on Napa steelhead salmon streams to help restore recently lost populations;

• an update on environmental and beneficial monitoring systems, including the projects underway to remedy fill in gaps in monitoring, including wells, groundwater dependent ecosystems, and the surface-water groundwater interface;

• a demonstration of the near-future in water monitoring, including comprehensive streaming-data of country water sensor systems to County desktops;

• relationships with the UC system to bring their expertise and capabilities into Napa;

• proposals to integrate county-wide water resource integration;

• a proposal that could solve the County’s water problems for the balance of the century, while simultaneously providing access to over 250 miles of presently-blocked stream habitat;
