Program

California has implemented numerous policy changes to cope with a record-breaking, four-year drought. A panel of experts will discuss what government agencies can do to better manage water resources, what methods are most effective at encouraging citizens to use water wisely, and how leaders can better plan for future climate crises. Preserving agricultural jobs, protecting the environment, and improving infrastructure are among the issues that will be addressed.
