Waterbag Campaign

In 2002, Friends of the Gualala River played a leading role in opposing a scheme to export water from the Gualala River to southern California in giant floating plastic “waterbags.”

See a detailed account of our successful campaign to prevent the harm the waterbag scheme would have caused to our river and our community.
