what’s in your

water?

The 150-mile journey most Bay Area residents have never heard of — and why it matters to every household, every single day.

Inside the Report

  • How snowmelt travels 150 miles by gravity alone — no pumps, no treatment plants — to reach your tap

  • The three rivers that sustain the Bay Area, Central Valley farms, and over 600 wildlife species

  • What threatens your water right now — from wildfire to a 95% collapse in salmon runs

  • What 40+ years of on-the-ground conservation has accomplished (and what's next)

"Every morning, over 3 million people start their day with water that traveled 150 miles from the mountains we protect together."

— Yosemite Rivers Alliance
