The Fairmead Groundwater Resiliency Project aims to address critical water challenges faced by the Fairmead community, an unincorporated and historically underserved area in California’s Central Valley. This initiative, led by Faimead community members and supported by Sustainable Conservation, combines groundwater recharge, agricultural land repurposing, and strong community engagement to secure clean, reliable, and affordable drinking water for residents while building climate resilience. Building on the progress of Phase 1, which developed foundational studies and conceptual designs, Phase 2 will focus on finalizing project designs, engaging community members, and securing funding for implementation. This collaborative effort seeks to demonstrate how integrated solutions can address groundwater depletion, climate adaptation, and community health in vulnerable regions.
