Southern California is running out of water
- The Castaic Reservoir in Hollywood, which feeds much of Los Angeles County, is dropping like a rock amid a prolonged California drought that is starving the region of hydration.
- Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti took a helicopter tour to survey the reservoir, during which he stated that "it's as low as I can ever remember it being."
- For the past decade, Los Angeles has made significant investments into its water future including several major projects that aim to improve the capture, storing, and recycling of water.
The entire Southwest is thirsty for water with few drops to be found
- Long-reliable federal supplies of water from the Colorado River are reportedly drying up, as is that river's largest reservoir, Lake Mead
- Fortunately for Los Angeles, the city is in better shape than, say, Las Vegas, as it has its own advanced aqueduct system
- Despite investments being made, the Los Angeles water infrastructure remains largely outdated and in desperate need of modernization
- Water quality also remains a top priority for those seeking positive solutions
- There's no one solution - but by choosing a strategic balance, with investments in strategies like water conservation, landscape transformation, rainwater capture, groundwater recharge, and the protection of our imported supplies, we will ensure a more sustainable water future
