Know Your H2O Our Vision of “Change” Integrating water management: GOALS: -Water supply reliability, pollution prevention, watershed restoration, habitat creation/restoration, Embedded Energy REDUCTION, etc Solutions require both changes in personal behavior and social norms, as well as holistic integration &/or reform of laws, regulations, funding priorities & public programs

Vision, Public Education, Action “The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water” – our effort at public education and vision of reform Ocean Friendly Gardens – our effort at changing social norms through landscape design changes Advocacy: Replacing imported water with multi- benefit local alternatives (wastewater recycling, LID, “green streets”, created/restored wetland networks, Long-term: capturing enough water in urban landscapes to start removing impervious flood control projects – Urban Watershed Restoration

Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water Natural Water Cycle vs Mismanagement

Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water Water = Energy Demand

Thirsty lawns vs. Ocean Friendly Gardens

Rainwater Management Options

Current Situation: Water is pushed off land as if it was a nuisance

Current solutions…

Goal: Change & Integrate “fragmented” agency mandates & governance

Water Management should…

Solutions…

Conclusion: Know Your H2O Unpredictable “droughts” & emergencies OR predictable prolonged dry weather patterns? Water supply shortage OR water mismanagement? Narrow focus on “new” water OR holistic & multi- benefit reform (including embedded energy reduction)? Public Education of water/energy problems & solutions can drive reform! Holistic reform offers govt. agency integration & cooperation/partnerships with NGOs! ENVIRONMENTAL & ECONOMIC BENEFITS!!!
