California Water in an Era of Increasing Climate Complexity
Our second California Water Policy Conference webinar featured Climate Scientist, Daniel Swain and a panel of leading experts who shared their insights on the short- and long-term impacts of wildfire on water supplies and discussed actions we can take to minimize these impacts to our communities. The panel introduced challenges and opportunities resulting from the recent wildfires and explored innovative methods and mindsets for effectively managing our forested watersheds. The speakers described the current threats to our water resources and discussed the utilization of forest management practices, land-use planning, and sound science to lessen the impacts of wildfire in our communities and our watersheds.
A recording of the webinar will be available soon.

Time for Transformational
Over 400 people registered for this event and over 250 watched the webinar live. You will hear their influence in the questions that were asked of all of our speakers.
Our October 20, 2020 webinar featuring a plenary presentation “Time for Transformative Water Leadership” and the follow up panel “Walking the Talk: How to Increase Water Sector Diversity” is now available for viewing! This was the first webinar produced by the California Water Policy Conference and we couldn’t be more proud of the result. Our goal was to bring you the same exciting speakers, unique format and vibrant conversation that is expected at our in-person conferences. We think we succeeded.
To make viewing easier we have split the webinar into two sessions. The first featuring Radhika Fox , CEO of the US. Water Alliance and the second featuring our panel presentation featuring Rick Callender, CEO of Valley Water; Joone Lopez, General Manager of Moulton Niguel Water District and Lauren Ahkiam, Director of LAANE’s Water campaign. Our fantastic conference chair, Meena Westford, Special Projects Manager with Metropolitan Water District moderated both sessions.
