CABY is an Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) group representing the Cosumnes, American, Bear and Yuba watershed region. We are a collaborative planning group of more than 30 organizations, representing water supply, conservation, recreation, agriculture, and community interests, as well as federal and local government agencies. We have been working since 2009 to improve water management in the Sierra foothills by increasing communication and coordination and seeking funding to implement projects throughout the region.
