Google announced a $600,000 project to remove and replace undersized culverts along a key waterway to the Salt River.

This is in partnership with Trout Unlimited and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The investment builds on Google’s ongoing commitment to Arizona. The tech giant has already supported more than a dozen water replenishment and watershed health projects.

The project will remove and replace three undersized culverts, which are tunnels that channel water underneath roadways.

It will help restore natural streamflow and reconnect vital habitats for the Apache trout.
