Regenerative Whidbey has published A Guide for Whidbey’s Water Future: Stewardship of Our Sole Source Aquifer, a 57-page guide written by David W. Haskell and Perry Lovelace. Whidbey Island depends on one finite aquifer for its water. The guide sets out how that aquifer works, where it is under pressure, and what islanders can do about it together.

What the guide covers
The guide traces the story of Whidbey’s water and the water system the island inherited. It looks at how that water is managed and governed today, considers ways to recharge the aquifer and options for governing it in the future, and closes with an invitation for islanders to take part.
Free to read, with printed copies by donation
The PDF is free on our Whidbey water guide page. Printed copies are mailed within the United States for a donation; the printed copy page has the details.
