ICWD Home >

The Inyo County Water Department monitors the vegetation, soil water, and hydrology of the Owens Valley. Inyo County and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power use this information to jointly manage the valley's water resources under the Inyo/Los Angeles Water Agreement. ICWD also advises the County on other water resource issues in Inyo County. In addition, ICWD conducts research and carries out saltcedar control and arid-lands revegetation programs. In 1999 the Inyo County Board of Supervisors instructed the Water Department to assist in the implementation of the County Policy on Extraction and Use of Water, the Agreement, FEIR MOU and Ordinance 1004 (see Resolution 99-43).
