• Sustainable Conservation

California’s water system is complex, and so are the challenges it faces. From groundwater overdraft to flooding and ecosystem decline, these issues are deeply interconnected and can’t be solved in isolation.

Sustainable Conservation’s second webinar in our Spring 2026 Voices from the Field webinar series explored how groundwater recharge and multibenefit land repurposing work in tandem to support long-term groundwater sustainability and climate resilience across California. By storing water underground in wet years and strategically reducing demand on groundwater supplies, these approaches can improve water reliability, reduce flood risk, and restore habitat, building a more resilient future for our communities, agriculture, and environment.

Speakers:

Glen Low, Co-Founder and Strategy Lead, Earth Genome

Jacob Byrne, Program Manager – Multibenefit Land Repurposing Program, California Department of Conservation

Moderated by: Richael Young, Senior Director – Water for the Future, Sustainable Conservation
