LCW 10 Year Anniversary Gathering
Save the date. Registration coming soon.
Please join us for a presentation by ARLA, WaterNow, and One Water Economics on their recent report to the Metropolitan Water District, Advancing Resilience through Distributed Stormwater Capture and Conservation.
This presentation and discussion will focus on a roadmap for MWD, and other agencies, to create and fund more equitable and robust incentives for true landscape transformation on private properties. MWD is at a crossroads right now, including decisions around their business model and if/how they should move toward being a water manager, not just a water importer. This report will highlight the watershed modeling and cost-benefit data leading to the recommendations for MWD to scale distributed stormwater capture and conservation as a core part of their water supply and business model.

In a year of climatic swings, the Localizing CA Waters Conference will map, showcase and provide networking space to connect communities to resilient, collaborative, watershed approaches. Presentations and workshops will focus on expanding scales from parcel level to regional scale, to advance and accelerate place-based equity. Sessions will include a focus on:
Focus on advancing place-based equity through regional resilience workshops and sharing-updates on local approaches.
Cultivating current thinking on watershed system responses to climatic swings, including through collaborative data (local to regional scale), access to data, and local opportunities to reach regional resilience.
Showcasing of case studies and workshops to map on-ground local approaches for safe drinking water, flood, fire, drought, extreme heat, and habitat that add up to healthy resilient watershed communities.

Join us on Thursday, November 4, 2021 for LCW’s Fall Forum
Practitioners will share information and resources on the tools you can implement in your own yards and communities to survive and thrive in the face of drought and extreme conditions.
A professional virtual facilitator will assure that the day of presentations, discussion and conversation are engaging and accessible. Together we can catalyze a paradigm shift toward local-based approaches that embrace equity and systems thinking.
Drought. Equity & Inclusion. Fire. Policy. Habitat.
There is a lot going on at the local and regional scale for all of us.
It’s time for us to touch base and discuss what you need for California Community Resilience.
You are invited to this virtual LCW conversation May 14th, 2021 for a listening and audience discussion that will inform next steps as well as the LCW November Conference agenda. Join us for several short inspiring case studies, and an interactive capture of what local water resilience can do for your region.
