Taking a seat at the table
Blue Table Talks are an opportunity for real talk about intimidating topics. For many Californias ‘drought’ is a scary term, and all the confusing information on L.A.’s water future can feel overwhelming. Los Angeles has many major water challenges to solve including water quality, the drought, water equity, and the increasingly severe impacts of climate change that threaten the wellbeing of our people and sustainability of our ecosystems.
There are many proposed solutions when it comes to answering these challenges including stormwater capture, conservation, efficient infrastructure, and recycled water. Each one individually is just a drop in the bucket, but together they all add up to a big impact.
Stormwater, groundwater, drinking water, wastewater, ocean water, it can be hard to see the connection, but it’s time to start thinking about it all as one water. If local experts and the people of Los Angeles are ONE in their commitment to conserving this water as a precious resource, there is still time to share it with generations to come. But those conversations and actions must happen now, and Heal the Bay is honored to facilitate and support them at our Blue Table.
