Sites Reservoir: Securing Our Agricultural Legacy

Did you know that Sites Reservoir is designed to act as a vital "rainy day fund" for our local family farms?

Agriculture is the backbone of Colusa County. By capturing and storing excess water during major winter storm events, Sites creates a reliable backup supply that can be drawn on during severe dry years.

How it protects our agricultural economy:
- Drought Resilience: Provides our irrigation districts with reliable water options, helping to protect vital local groundwater levels.
- Job Stability: Consistent water access means local packing houses, suppliers, and agricultural workers stay employed year after year.
- Preserving Land Value: Ensuring our world-class soil remains productive and valuable for the next generation of farmers.
