The Untapped Potential of California’s Water Supply

Authored by: Pacific Institute and Natural Resources Defense Council

According to our partners at the Pacific Institute and their research partners at the Natural Resources Defense Council, California could be saving up to 14 million acre-feet of untapped water with increased water management efforts. By increasing statewide use of water saving practices,water reuse, and stormwater capture, California could save more than the amount of water it currently uses per year.
