The California Water Blog, produced by the Center for Watershed Sciences at University of California, Davis, offers exactly that: timely, informed, and often provocative perspectives on the state’s most pressing water challenges.
What sets the California Water Blog apart is its voice. The writing is clear, direct, and unafraid to address complex or controversial topics. Rather than presenting information in a purely technical format, the blog provides context and interpretation—helping readers better understand the implications of policies, scientific findings, and real-world events.
The topics covered are wide-ranging. From groundwater management and drought conditions to ecosystem restoration and water infrastructure, the blog touches on nearly every aspect of California’s water system. This breadth makes it a valuable resource for farmers, policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in water sustainability.
