#ICYMI: Valley Economy Blog by Dr. Jeffrey Michael takes apart the Department of Water Resources’ public relations claims. Read Dr. Jeff Michael’s analysis of DWR’s faulty math comparisons between the Delta Conveyance Project and Southern California desal projects here: https://bit.ly/44THqQm For our young readers, this is a case of the #MathAintMathing, and you are the ones who will end up paying for the Delta Conveyance Project, rather than for the climate, education, and societal investments for which you all are envisioning for the future. #cawater #prodelta

🇺🇸The California Department of Water Resources released its 2023 State Water Project Delivery Capability report, revealing potential water supply reductions of up to 23% over the next 20 years due to climate change, equating to about 496,000 acre-feet annually (enough water to supply 1.7M homes for a year). The report highlights the urgent need for infrastructure upgrades, including the Delta Conveyance Project and Sites Reservoir. Read more: https://cstu.io/bf7873 #ERISInfo #Climatechange

🌍The Future of Water Treatment - Today💧 As communities across California face unprecedented cycles of drought and floods, the urgency to find sustainable solutions is clearer than ever. ⏳ In the first episode of this season's Full Circle Podcast, LVMWD's Riki Clark chats with two members of the design-build team led by The Walsh Group - Walsh Construction & Archer Western - Andrew Salveson from Carollo Engineers and Adam Zacheis from Brown and Caldwell - about how advanced purified water represents the most affordable and highest quality new water we can utilize for water stressed communities like those of LVMWD and Triunfo Water & Sanitation District. ✅ It’s not just a concept—this is the future of water sustainability. Let’s take action now to ensure that our communities can thrive in the face of climate change. 🌱 Watch the full video to learn more about this innovative solution and how we can all contribute to a water-secure future. #WaterCrisis #Sustainability #RecycledWater #DroughtSolutions #ClimateAction

🚀 Our latest report, “The Economic Value of Efficiency for California Water Service: Lower Water Bills” is live and ready for download! This report, which we collaborated with M.Cubed and A&N Technical Services on for Cal Water, explored how water efficiency and conservation have affected Cal Water and its customers guided by these two questions: 1️⃣ What would the impact on bills have been if no water efficiency or conservation had occurred?  2️⃣ Are bill-paying customers better or worse off? Our analysis of twenty-four service areas, from 2010 to 2022, found that customer bills in the service districts studied would have been 1.2 to 20.5 percent higher had Cal Water not implemented water efficiency and conservation measures. 👓 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ek7Jrfg3
