In a February 28, 2018 article published by the UCLA News Room, Mark Gold, UCLA’s associate vice chancellor of environment and sustainability and one of the report authors, says Los Angeles could wean itself off of imported water “if it does a better job of capturing local stormwater, increases the use of recycled water, cleans up groundwater and steps up conservation measures.”
The subject article cites a recent report titled LA Sustainable Water Project: Los Angeles City-Wide Overview, which was published by UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge, and Colorado School of Mines. Further, the report findings dovetail nicely with the goals for local water outlined in Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Sustainability Plan and puts together a compelling argument for LA’s water independence.
