Take part in the conversation about local groundwater at a Coachella Valley Salt & Nutrient Management Plan (CV-SNMP) community meeting. The workshop is the third in a series of community engagement sessions.

The meeting is free to attend and will take place on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, from 10-11:30 a.m. Those interested in attending can join remotely or in person:

• In person: Coachella Valley Water District Board Room, 75515 Hovley Ln E, Palm Desert, CA 92211
• Remote, register at: http://bit.ly/4tKQd1B

Participants will learn about progress on the preparation of the CV-SNMP. This session will focus on how forecasting tools were developed to predict future trends in salt and nutrient concentrations in the groundwater basin.

Attendees will explore new forecasting tools, see visual animations of the potential future of water quality in the groundwater basin, and learn about potential strategies to protect the long-term use of groundwater in the Coachella Valley.

Local water and wastewater entities, together with stakeholders, are developing the CV-SNMP in a locally driven collaborative process that is open to all and aims to preserve the sustainable, affordable use of groundwater in the Coachella Valley.

Development of the plan will help meet the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Recycled Water Policy, which requires that salt and nutrient loading to groundwater basins be managed on a basin- or watershed-wide basis in a way that ensures the protection of the beneficial uses of groundwater.
