SJV Greenprint Background:
The San Joaquin Valley Greenprint project was created as a voluntary, stakeholder driven project to help the eight counties of the San Joaquin Valley create long-term environmental and economic sustainability in the face of these challenges. It serves as a resource that can inform land use and resource management decisions in the Valley, emphasizing the importance of crafting regional solutions because economic and environmental challenges and decisions often cross jurisdictional boundaries. Funding for the completed Phase I and this Phase II of the Greenprint project was awarded by the California Strategic Growth Council from funds generated by Proposition 84.
Phase I of the SJV Greenprint project compiled and evaluated a large collection of publicly funded maps and data that portray the Valley’s water, agricultural, and ecological resources to create a single repository of information that can be found HERE.
Phase II will build on and extend the work completed in Phase I, by focusing on applications of the data and maps through the development of a “pilot projects program” and the subsequent selection and implementation of pilot projects.
Phase II funded projects include Sequoia Riverlands Trust's project "Watershed Enhancement Strategies for Groundwater Sustainability", Sustainable Conservation's project "Groundwater Recharge Planning Tool", and American Farmland Trust's project "Better Understand the Land-Water Interface in the SJV in Order to Inform Choices about their Use and Management".
