Report cites ways to extend California’s urban water supplies
With California in the grip of yet another severe drought, water managers across the Golden State must find ways to protect and conserve existing supplies as much as possible. Against this backdrop, the advocacy organization the Pacific Institute estimated in a recent report the extent to which increased water-efficiency measures could reduce California’s urban water use. The organization also has quantified the potential boost to local water supplies from expanded water reuse and stormwater capture efforts in the state.
