Northern California Water

Welcome to NorCal Water's Media Library - a hub of visual and informational resources designed to help you share the story of water in the Sacramento Valley.

Here you’ll find categorized infographics, fact sheets, videos, maps, and more—each highlighting the multiple benefits of water management in our region, from growing food and supporting communities to enhancing fish and wildlife habitat and providing flood protection.

We invite you to explore, download, and use these materials to support your work and help communicate how thoughtful water management brings the Sacramento Valley - and all of California - to life.

The Sacramento Valley is sourcing a vibrant future through responsible management of water—the essential resource that millions of people, thousands of farms, and our communities all depend upon, while also nourishing the millions of birds and fish that live in this region.
