As a megacity with a desert climate, the mayor has recognized that Los Angeles must maximize its local supplies of water to offset demands on water from further north in the state that is increasingly at risk of curtailment due to environmental water demand and the increasingly extreme hydrology brought on by climate change.

This complex issue requires innovative thinking and solutions: Catalyst’s hallmark.
