Each year, the Foundation organizes conferences, workshops
and special events devoted to specific issues surrounding water.
The Foundation’s annual Water Summit, typically held in the
fall, features speakers from various interest groups, the
state Legislature and governmental agencies who play important
roles in making policy decisions about water. Other conferences
have focused on climate change, groundwater, the Delta, flood
management and drought. We also host an annual Water 101
workshop as well as other workshops. Some conferences are
conducted in partnership with state agencies and other
organizations.
The past three-year span, 2019 to 2022, has officially been the
driest ever statewide going back to 1895 when modern records
began in California. But this most recent period of overall
drought has also seen big swings from very wet to very dry
stretches such as the 2021-2022 water year
that went from a relatively wet Oct.-Dec. beginning to
the driest Jan.-March period in the state’s history.
With La Niña conditions predicted to persist into this
winter, what can reliably be said about the prospects for
Water Year 2023? Does La Niña really mean anything for California
or is it all washed up as a predictor in this new reality of
climate whiplash, and has any of this affected our reliance on
historical patterns to forecast California’s water supply?

to seasonal (S2S) precipitation forecasting for California and

Workshop December 8 in Irvine, CA.
