Water Origins

Becky Holden 
Assistant Director 
Butte Environmental Council

Every day, we turn on a tap and water comes out. As we do this, we might want to ask some basic questions, such as “Where does water come from and where does it go?’ While it seems like a simple question, the answer is more complex than might be expected. In this presentation, Becky Holden provides a basic introduction to water, with an emphasis on Northern California, the Sacramento River Watershed, and its six subregions. The topics she covers include the water cycle, surface water, groundwater, watersheds, and water systems.
