Join us on April 14, 2026, from 3pm PT for a virtual panel exploring the future of water in Los Angeles. Hosted by the Center for Developing Leadership in Science as part of LA Climate Week, this public conversation will bring together experts and community voices to examine the region’s water challenges and opportunities. Organized by CDLS Fellow De’Marcus Robinson, it is open to all. RSVP for the Zoom link.
Los Angeles is home to nearly 3.9 million people who rely on clean, accessible water every day. Ongoing droughts in the Owens Valley, a key source of the city’s water via the Los Angeles Aqueduct, are reducing supply and raising urgent concerns about long-term water security. Addressing these challenges will require coordinated efforts across community engagement, regulation, infrastructure, and urban planning.
Through a dynamic discussion, this panel will explore the history of water in Los Angeles, unpack current pressures, and highlight innovative, sustainable solutions for the future.
Register to attend and be part of the conversation shaping a more resilient and equitable water future.
