Do you know where your water comes from? The iconic spring-fed
trout waters of Mt. Shasta and High Sierra meadows are the key to
California’s water future. They are a major Source of the state’s
water supply, vital to its economy, its people and its fish. Yet,
despite its significance, many Californians are unaware of where
their water comes from and the need to protect and restore these
important sources. They face a myriad of threats. From water
bottling plants to hydroelectric and geothermal energy facilities
in the springs to degraded meadows in the Sierra. And now – climate
change. Learn more about these vital Source waters, and, how we can
ensure they are productive and healthy for generations to come.
