Water Conservation

Water is the lifeblood of any agricultural crop, including the wine grapes of Napa Valley. Our vintners view local groundwater as a precious natural resource, to be used wisely and efficiently.

By using a variety of modern tools, including software programs and satellite technology, vintners are able to analyze irrigation patterns and monitor local climate to ensure the best, most efficient use of local water.

In addition, water management science and innovation, such as drip irrigation and micro-sprinkler systems, help ensure ongoing water conservation by Napa's growers.
