cwd meetingFounded in 2010, the Community Water Dialogue (CWD) is a group of stakeholders who have gathered to address the imbalance of water supply and demand in the Pajaro Valley on California’s central coast through individual and collaborative action, helping to ensure agricultural viability in the Pajaro Valley.Since its formation the CWD has included a wide variety of stakeholders, including landowners, growers, researchers, nonprofits, rural residents, government representatives, and environmental leaders. The solutions-based approach of the CWD has had the effect of uniting people around this common challenge and all of its members agree to the fundamental principles of the effort:

1)   A commitment to protect the Pajaro Valley as an important agricultural resource

2)   Recognition that the solution will not be an importation pipeline

3)   A willingness to pursue diverse strategies which entail costs and sacrifices in order to bring our aquifer into balance
