Public Resources Code Division 9 established Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) to conserve soil and water, control runoff, prevent and control soil erosion, manage watersheds, protect water quality, and develop water storage and distribution. 

RCDs are special districts of the State of California, set up to be locally governed agencies with their own locally appointed or elected, independent boards of directors. California RCDs implement projects on public and private lands, and educate landowners and the public about resource conservation. 

RCDs are a vital link between federal, state, and local programs, helping these agencies meet their conservation goals. RCDs conduct:

• Watershed planning and management
• Water conservation
• Water quality protection and enhancement
• Agricultural land conservation
• Soil and water management on non-agricultural lands
• Wildlife habitat enhancement
• Wetland conservation
• Recreational land restoration
• Irrigation management
• Conservation education
• Forest stewardship
• Fuels management
• Urban resource conservation
