Arundo donax, also called giant
cane, is a hardy aquatic plant that
resembles bamboo. This plant,
which can grow to heights of up to
20 feet, is not native to southern
California—it’s exotic and invasive. (1/2)

Did you know that SAWPA and partners have worked to remove 3,000 acres of Arundo and replaced it with native habitat, providing approximately 10,000 acre feet per year of new water to the region (enough water to support 20,000 families per year)? #SantaAnaRiver #Riverside #SAWPA

Have you seen this sign? This sign is located in SAWPA’s Drought Tolerant garden, but did you know there are actually 75 in the entire Santa Ana Watershed? Whether you are in #Riverside or #Huntington Beach, there is a good chance you have passed one of these signs!
Did you know CCTV inspections allow #SAWPA to monitor underground pipes to check for leaks or any maintenance issues? This technology prevents spills and ensures the #BrineLine stays fully operational! Learn more at sawpa.gov/BrineLine #Riverside #Orange County #SanBernadino
