In a new report, UCLA researchers say California and other states should recycle more wastewater to help address the Colorado River’s chronic shortages. "Modest gains in water reuse could make an enormous difference." www.latimes.com/environment/... @uclaioes.bsky.social #CAwater
More water recycling could help fix Colorado River shortfall. California has a ways to go, report says
UCLA researchers say California and other states aren't recycling enough water. They recommend reusing much more to ease water shortages along the Colorado River.

Today, we are prepping for severe weather. It wasn't that long ago that tornados destroyed parts of W. KY, now we are preparing for similar severe storms. Here's the starting point for the drainage ditch at my house. They are calling for 8-15 inches of rain in the next 7 days on top of what's here.

Like many urban & rural communities, people in Martin County, KY face a hard choice—stay in the place they love or leave due to unaffordable water.
For #WorldWaterDay, hear Madison’s story in upcoming #WECRCaucus doc on their fight for water access.

#WaterInsecurity in action today in my home county. Two weeks ago we had a catastrophic water main break (under a parkway!). Temporary measures including tanker trucks, bottled water, and a temporary line were implemented. Today the new main is being connected!
