Right by Warner Bros. Studios, SCWC Executive Director Charley Wilson joined California Assemblymember Nick Schultz for a water policy roundtable in Burbank!

The conversation focused on the fundamentals of California’s water challenges, from broader statewide policy issues to the funding and permitting processes needed to address them.

Through an exchange of ideas and perspectives, participants explored how to elevate water as a greater priority in public policy and build the urgency needed to support long-term water reliability.

A special thank you to Assemblymember Schultz for taking the time to sit down with us for such a meaningful discussion. Opportunities for this level of direct dialogue are rare, and we are grateful for his time, engagement and willingness to exchange ideas on an issue so critical to California’s future.

Southern California Water Coalition Executive Director & CEO Charley Wilson was among the statewide leaders featured in Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent announcement celebrating a major milestone for California’s water future.

After decades of planning, Sites Reservoir has officially secured its final water-right permit, clearing the way for California’s largest new reservoir in more than 50 years.

With the capacity to store 1.5 million acre-feet of water, enough to supply more than 4.5 million homes for one year, Sites Reservoir will help strengthen California’s long-term water reliability by capturing water during wet periods for use in dry years.

This approval marks a significant step toward turning decades of planning into action and building the infrastructure California needs for generations to come.

[SoCal Water Coalition @SoCalWaterComm]

💧 This week in California water:

✅ Sites Reservoir cleared its final major permit, moving California one step closer to adding 1.5 million acre-feet of new water storage capacity for future droughts.
✅ Record-high ocean water levels along parts of California's coast highlight the ongoing challenge of protecting communities from coastal flooding].
✅ A new state audit found maintenance concerns on key Central Valley flood-control levees, underscoring the importance of investing in aging water infrastructure.

Three stories. One takeaway: California's water future depends on capturing water when it's available, protecting communities when there's too much of it, and maintaining the infrastructure that makes both possible.
