California faces more extreme water swings as the climate warms. Droughts are deeper. Floods are more intense. Rising temperatures, including recent spring heat, reduce available water supplies and strain ecosystems. To adapt, the state’s Department of Water Resources has kicked off the development of an updated water plan. This is the first plan to set state law required targets to expand water supplies over the next two decades. Join us as we unpack how this water plan will help us adapt to a changing future and manage water for people and nature. We’ll also check in on current water supply conditions among record breaking spring temperatures and what it means to our water supply for the rest of the year.
