Water in the Sacramento Valley is generally very high quality. As part of the ongoing efforts for regional sustainability, there are various programs that are working hard to improve water quality in the region. A good example of these efforts is the program on Walker Creek in Glenn County, where landowners, with assistance from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), have developed a watershed management plan to prevent insecticides from entering the creek. For an informative look at this program, see the USDA’s Blog: USDA Bay Delta’s Initiative Enables Landowners to Remove Insecticides from California’s Walker Creek.
