California Regional Water Quality Control Boards

California Regional Water Quality Control Boards are government agencies responsible for protecting and restoring water quality within specific regions of California. They develop and enforce regulations to prevent water pollution from industries, agriculture, and municipalities. These boards oversee permits, monitor water bodies, and take actions to ensure that water remains safe for drinking, recreation, and wildlife. Working collaboratively with local governments, businesses, and communities, they aim to balance economic development with environmental health, ensuring California’s water resources are sustainable and protected for future generations.
