The Yolo Bypass is one of California’s most remarkable working landscapes, supporting flood protection, agriculture, wetlands, and critical wildlife habitat. Today, an unprecedented convergence of major water infrastructure and ecosystem restoration initiatives is poised to reshape how this landscape functions. This talk will look at the projects driving these changes, why the Yolo Bypass has become a focal point for regional flood management, water supply, and habitat restoration, and what these investments could mean for its future.

Sabrina Snyder is a Senior Management Analyst for Yolo County, where she manages the County’s Water Resources Program. Snyder provides recommendations, implements water policy, and engages the public on the many Federal, State, and Local water and natural resource planning initiatives in the Yolo Bypass and greater Sacramento San Joaquin Delta region.
