Basics
LandSmart On-the-Ground for Sonoma Creek Vineyards
Completed
The Sonoma Resource Conservation District (RCD) worked with four vineyard properties in the Sonoma Creek Watershed to install a total of 82 best management practices (BMPs). These practices were originally identfied from LandSmart plans completed by RCD staff and were aimed at improving water quality, groundwater recharge, water conservation, habitat enhancement, and drought and climate change resiliency.

Project Themes
We upgraded stream crossings and storm proofed roads so they are better able to handle an uncertain future climate that could have less frequent, but more intense storms.
Disconnected long reaches of roads with regular drainage features (e.g. rolling dips) allow surface runoff, which would normally drain straight to the creek, to drain off the road and infiltrate to potentially recharge groundwater. Additionally the Tule devices and replacement drip line and emitters, will help to conserve water, through more efficient irrigation scheduling and delivery.
This project reduced many metric tons of sediment from draining into the tributaries of Sonoma Creek by upgrading stream crossings, stabilizing gullies, and storm-proofing roads.
All four of these projects were on local vineyard and rangeland properties in the Sonoma Creek Watershed.
