On The Ground

We use data modeling to identify the best solutions that improve watershed health and habitats.

The Freshwater Trust works with partners to carry out science-based, ecologically sound projects to restore habitat function and improve water quality, groundwater sustainability, surface water management, and irrigation efficiencies.

Solutions

Plant Trees

Nature-based solutions, such as planting trees, provide shade to lower water temperature and stabilize streambanks to reduce erosion.

Restore Stream Function

Reconnecting floodplains and side channels and strategically placing large wood improves a river’s complexity and creates critical spawning and rearing habitat for native fish.

Replenish Groundwater

Through groundwater recharge and water replenishment projects, we collaborate with stakeholders and integrate funding sources to benefit ecosystems and local communities.
