Building a More Resilient California 💧

We’re proud to share that the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) has been awarded funding through the Regional Resilience Grant Program under the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) (Formerly the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR)) and ICARP initiative.

This project will create a Santa Ana River Watershed Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan (CARP) — a community-driven effort to strengthen climate resilience, promote equity, and support sustainable water solutions across the region.
