Although this watershed includes many urbanized areas, the Upper Los Angeles River has a surprising amount of wildlife including hundreds of species of fish, birds, and mammals. In addition, this watershed’s soil quality and permeability allows for many natural aquifers that provide a wide range of stormwater capture possibilities to increase supply and improve quality. Spanning the entire San Fernando Valley, this watershed is also one of the most economically diverse in the LA Basin.
Best approach is always meeting people where they are, and talking about how the Safe, Clean Water Program can benefit their community—if it’s jobs, if it’s more green spaces, if it’s water quality, if it’s bringing families closer together. Identify the need and be the voice to help the public work with the Safe, Clean Water Program to create projects that meet the need.
