Protect Water Resources Sample Clauses

Protect Water Resources. California’s forested watersheds function as critical natural infrastructure for wildlife and people. Catastrophic wildfire devastates both the natural and built infrastructure endangering California’s drinking water. By prioritizing vulnerable watersheds for restoration and vegetation treatment, our work will protect and purify California’s water supply for communities, agriculture, and critical fish and wildlife habitat. Much of California’s physical water infrastructure including reservoirs and pipelines run through high risk fire zones. The Parties will focus on protecting water systems against damaging wildfire effects from the forest to the faucet.
