Revealing Payahuunadü: Building a Community Understanding of the impacts of water extraction

Revealing Payahuunadü is a program intended to share information on the impacts of water extraction in Inyo and Mono Counties and help the community envision a healthier future for people and the land. We believe that being fully informed on the past, present, and future conditions of water will equip our communities to advocate for a better water future. Water is life, and the well-being of all depends on protecting and stewarding our watershed.
