Why this matters
California agriculture depends on reliable water movement. As golden mussels continue to be monitored across the state, growers and water managers need to understand how this invasive species may affect irrigation infrastructure and what proactive steps can be taken to reduce risk.
Golden mussels can create operational challenges by attaching to hard surfaces and accumulating in water systems. If left unmanaged, they may contribute to:
- Clogged pumps, screens, filters, and intake structures
- Reduced water flow through pipelines and irrigation systems
- Increased maintenance and cleaning requirements
- Greater risk of system downtime during critical irrigation periods
- Added pressure on water delivery efficiency and infrastructure planning
Who Should Attend?
This clinic is built for:
- Growers & Ranch Managers
- Irrigation Managers
- Crop Advisors & PCAs
- Farm Operations Teams
- Water District Professionals
- & anyone responsible for protecting water delivery infrastructure
