We’ll be at the other place for the foreseeable future

I joined @AirTalk w/ @AustinCross & @Erstone7 this morning, to discuss the major water recycling for local supply efforts in LA City and the broader region, including our new @LuskinCenter report

[UCLA Water @UclaWater]

Speaking to @mirandawillson 
@EENewsUpdates re: EPA's restructuring rule for water system consolidation,  @gregspierce noted you'd expect affordability impacts to:

"be mixed or maybe negative, because it’s costly, and the cost has to be paid by someone”

Our @gregspierce in @ByIanJames story on LA City’s water recycling efforts, reflecting on our report released this week⬇️

“Because climate uncertainty will be the largest driver of water shortage, it must adapt by developing more local, reliable supplies”

Joined @AirTalk w Larry Mantle & @BE_DIZZLE yesterday to discuss the historical contemporary importance of the LA Aqueduct for the region.

New research shows global warming has become the dominant driver of worsening droughts in the Western U.S.

Scientists say the severity of future droughts will be determined largely by how much more planet-heating gases humans release into the atmosphere.

New Open Access article from me, Amber Pearson, @graceharrison_1 in @IWAPublishing.

3 most important takeaways (🧵):

1. Households report a wide range of tap-alternative water sources. The tap/bottled binary is limiting for understanding health & affordability implications.
