Serving the Community
San Bernardino Valley is a special district, which is a unique form of local government created to meet a specific need. The Agency’s responsibility to the public is to ensure the region has a reliable water supply. San Bernardino Valley manages the region’s long-term water supply by importing supplemental water from the California State Water Project (SWP) and by replenishing and managing the local groundwater basins.
Watershed Moments Podcast
Watershed Moments is San Bernardino Valley’s podcast exploring the people, science, and stories behind the region’s water. Each episode features conversations with experts, partners, and community leaders working to protect and manage our water resources. Listen to learn how water shapes our environment, communities, and the future. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
