Dr Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE:DPS) and The Nature Conservancy are once again teaming up on environmental stewardship projects to protect vital water resources.<\/p>\n

Over the next three years, DPS will give\u00a0$750,000<\/span>\u00a0to support watershed protection along the American and Sacramento Rivers in\u00a0Northern California<\/span>\u00a0and the Los Angeles River in\u00a0Southern California<\/span>, which are fundamental to health and prosperity of the 37 million people that reside in the Golden State.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0California<\/span>\u00a0projects build on a longstanding partnership between DPS and The Nature Conservancy. Since 2012, DPS has committed\u00a0$2 million<\/span>\u00a0to The Nature Conservancy in\u00a0Texas<\/span>\u00a0to focus on several watershed conservation projects in the company’s home state.<\/p>\n

“Our work with The Nature Conservancy takes our focus on water beyond our operations to the watersheds in our communities,” said\u00a0Kelly Smith<\/span>, senior director, government affairs and sustainability at Dr Pepper Snapple Group. “We are proud of the impacts our contributions have made in our home state of\u00a0Texas<\/span>, and we hope the action we’ll be taking out west will bring\u00a0California<\/span>another step forward in its conservation efforts.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

DPS relies on the state’s freshwater resources for its production facilities in\u00a0Sacramento<\/span>,\u00a0Vernon<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Victorville<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The American,\u00a0Sacramento<\/span>\u00a0and Los Angeles Rivers are crucial to\u00a0California’s<\/span>\u00a0water supply and water infrastructure, and the support from DPS will be used primarily for water quality assessment, developing natural infrastructure for capturing and cleaning storm water and ongoing conservation activities to preserve the land and waters that support the hydrology of the state.<\/p>\n

“We are thankful for Dr Pepper Snapple Group’s commitment to conserving the most important resource on our planet \u2013 water,” said\u00a0Jason Pelletier<\/span>, Director of California Lands Program at The Nature Conservancy. “Southern California<\/span>\u00a0and the Central Valley are home to approximately 76 percent of the state’s population, so the conservation work that DPS supports will help ensure Californians have access to clean, reliable sources of water for many years to come.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The investment in ongoing conservation and freshwater protection for\u00a0California<\/span>\u00a0water will focus on clean and ample water for the state, including increasing water flow and conserving and restoring the land at the headwaters of some of\u00a0California’s<\/span>\u00a0most important rivers.<\/p>\n

American and Sacramento Rivers\u00a0
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

The American and Sacramento Rivers are two of the most critical rivers in\u00a0California<\/span>\u00a0and deliver water to farms, business and households in many areas of the state and as far south as\u00a0Los Angeles<\/span>. The water from these rivers must travel a great distance, so protecting the land at the headwaters and studying river health and water quality is critical for ensuring clean water is delivered to those that rely on fresh supply.<\/p>\n

Los\u00a0Angeles River<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Los Angeles River currently carries treated waste water and storm water, but the city of\u00a0Los Angeles<\/span>\u00a0has a vision to increase reliance on local water sources, and capturing more storm water is important to this goal. To make this a reality, the Conservancy is creating a Los Angeles River demonstration project, which will show that with green infrastructure and native plants, storm water can be captured, cleaned and filtered.<\/p>\n
