Water

Reliable, high quality water is critical to fruit and vegetable production.

The CFVGA Water Committee is therefore dually charged with:

  • 1
    Providing water resource information that can assist CFVGA members to continue and advance their farming operations
  • 2
    Connecting members, water policy makers and regulatory agencies to promote understanding of the potential impacts both positive and negative, of water related policies on our members.
