Southern California cities like San Marcos are still leading by example in water conservation. Is your city doing it’s part? 💧💧
Can we rely on big infrastructure to solve our water problems in the Southwest? Many point to technology like desalination or building new reservoirs as a means to solve water scarcity, but the reality is there is no silver bullet. As Michael Hightower, a research professor of civil engineering at the University of New Mexico, puts it: “You don’t see people building new reservoirs, because they know there’s not going to be water to put in those reservoirs.” 🤔💧 📸: @qz #desalination #potablereuse #watercrisis #reservoirs #cawater

A statewide assessment released this week by the California Natural Resources Agency provides new insight on the growing threat Californians face with climate change. Deadlier heat waves, more severe wildfires, and increased sea level rise are predicted in the coming decades. After all is said and done, these effects could reduce Northern California water exports to the rest of the state by 10% by 2060. 💧💧💧 One of our film’s experts, Dan Cayan from Scripps Institute of Oceanography, states: “This year has been kind of a harbinger or potential problems to come...The number of extremes that we’ve seen is consistent with what model predictions are pointing to, and they’re giving us an example of what we need to prepare for.” . . 📸: @stuartpalley #climatechange #environment #cawater #climatechangeisreal #yosemite #fergusonfire
