Green Sacramento County

Support RWA’s efforts to expand communication of water conservation–related education and tips through multiple media platforms (e.g., radio, television, social media) to increase awareness of indoor and outdoor conservation methods. Encourage water districts to provide educational materials to water users through websites and customer bills. This may include increasing public awareness of landscaping changes and available low-water-use, drought-tolerant native plants. Showcase drought-tolerant demonstration gardens at three County buildings.​

Benefits: Many Sacramento County–based water districts provide educational material to water users; however, to reduce wasteful use of water, the County, RWA, and water districts should partner and dedicate additional efforts to expand the reach of these educational resources. This would result in more informed water users who may implement on-site water conservation strategies.
