… Being collaborative with water will help ensure it is a sustainable resource into the future. As we move through another year with the reservoirs in Marin mostly full, drought may not be the first issue we think to address. However, we are in the midst of climate change that can have significant impacts on water supply. We need to know our water system and use available tools to keep it functioning for future generations. The “old” water that seemed plentiful is not the “new” water that we recognize as a limited resource. We can reinvent our understanding of water for our future.
