The Program sponsors projects through its monitoring and public information/public participation elements and participation in the Santa Clara Basin Watershed Management Initiative (SCBWMI). 

The SCBWMI is guided by stakeholders that include local, state and federal government agencies; business, agriculture, and industry associations; and environmental and civic groups.  The Program is a SCBWMI stakeholder.  The Program’s involvement in the SCBWMI is organized by the continuous improvement process.  Resolution of specific watershed issues and recommendations raised within the SCBWMI are addressed with funding and Program support.  In cooperation with the Watershed Management Initiative, the Program is currently contributing to watershed management measures.
