The multi-year drought is the leading news story this year as water managers confront low reservoirs, reduced instream flows, water supply cutbacks, and the need for increased customer conservation. But even when this drought ends, many of these management challenges will not.

Experts say the effects of climate change, population growth and other factors will result in needing to further stretch supplies to meet future demands. Long-term management is the key.

Learn about water management strategies for today and tomorrow from our panel of experts at the Water Education Foundation’s March 25 Executive Briefing in Sacramento:
