Real solutions to climate-proof water supplies are available … Indeed, LA’s largest wholesale water provider, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, has shifted from an historic focus on increasing water imports to maximizing local water supplies, like water recycling, given climate impacts. That’s why the Metropolitan Water District, along with many other water agencies, supported the recent climate bond to invest in a range of smart water solutions. These include climate-proof strategies, such as: increasing groundwater recharge and storage, modernizing water rights, strategically repurposing land to maximize water savings and community well-being, and conserving and reusing whenever possible.
