The West Basin Municipal Water District in Carson recently introduced its Water for Tomorrow Program, an effort to help the district fulfill its commitment to secure, protect, and diversify its water supply.
Scott Houston, the board president, said that the district's most important function as stewards of the area's water supply was to make sure there was enough water to meet the needs of everyone supplied by the district, both currently and in the future. The new program, Houston said, addresses the unique challenges faced by the district so that water supplies will be secure and reliable, and able to bring as much water as needed to communities throughout the region.
The water supply available to Southern California can be unreliable, because it comes from many sources, including the Colorado River and Northern California. Climate change has caused uncertainty about the continued viability of some sources, and in addition, decisions designed to protect the environment or regulate water supplies can also change the amount of water available. Also, water imported to Southern California from elsewhere is subject to the flows in the rivers and sources where the water rises.
The district plans to use its Water for Tomorrow Program to increase the efficient use of water, and support conservation, as well as focusing on making the imported water more reliable. The agency plans to make information about Water for Tomorrow continuously available to the community. Agencies like this can use brochure printing to create informative materials.
