Our Purpose
The UFRWG offers individual irrigators and operators the opportunity to work together
as a coalition to address water quality issues pertaining to agricultural discharges. The
group works closely with the Plumas-Sierra County University of California Cooperative
Extension to monitor area creeks and streams to determine the effects, if any, of local
agriculture and rural communities on waters flowing into the Feather River tributaries.

Membership
Members are key to the success of the coalition.
Achievement of our coalition goal to maintain high water quality in the Upper Feather
River watershed region of the Waters of the State of California, depends on the efforts of
individual members and landowners. Good resource stewardship and implementation
of sound management practices to maintain high water quality requires the efforts of
every landowner and operator, so we can be proud of the water that is delivered to the
down stream users of this valuable resource.
