REAL WATER SOLUTIONS:  FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS

FOR and coalition partners release comprehensive recommendations to weather the drought

While Californians can’t make it rain, federal, state, and local leaders can take immediate steps to help California weather the current drought without adding more destructive dams or diversions. Wetter or Not – Actions to Ease the Current Drought and Prepare for the Next, is a comprehensive set of recommendations calling for action in a broad range of areas, including:

• expanding drought-resistant water sources, such as water efficiency, water recycling and stormwater management
• improving smart water storage
• investing in healthy ecosystems and natural infrastructure
• spending public funds wisely

Together, these recommendations can tap into the enormous potential to develop millions of acre-feet of new water for California without building more destructive dams in a state that already has 1,250 of them.
