That's a well known problem for CA and they are very much aware of it.................there are many things that are being done or in planning to help....eg Ashoka: There’s a lot of doom and gloom out there and as a native Californian it’s hard not to feel anxious about the future of the state. Can we end on an optimistic note? Lipkis: Absolutely. There’s reason to be optimistic because these ideas are starting to catch on. The Mayor of Los Angeles just announced this week a commitment to get Los Angeles to source 50% of its water supply locally. Meanwhile, city council members Mike Bonin and Felipe Fuentes just got ‘green streets’ legislation approved that will require any new road or repair to an existing road to include a way to trap and treat groundwater—a huge step forward. And at the state level, for the first time ever, our water bond included $200 million for rainwater harvesting. Finally, this summer we’re going to build the country’s first smart water grid in Los Angeles, complete with electronic monitoring and remote control systems. There is no shortage of workable solutions. We just need people to come together in partnership and take the blinders off. forbes.com
