  • Paying for Water in California
    Paying for Water in California March 2014 Ellen Hanak, Brian Gray, Jay Lund, David Mitchell, Caitrin Chappelle, Andrew Fahlund, Katrina Jessoe, Josué Medellín- Azuara, Dean Misczynski, James Nachbaur, Robyn Suddeth with research support from Emma Freeman and Elizabeth Stryjewski Supported with funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation and the California Water Foundation, an initiative of the Resources Legacy Fund Summary California’s water system provides many vital services: supplying clean water for homes, farms, and other businesses; protecting the quality of rivers, lakes, and beaches; preventing loss of life and property from devastating floods; and safeguarding the health and habitat of fish and other wildlife. By some accounts, our water system is in a deep financial crisis, with failing marks for essential infrastructure and with vast unmet spending needs. However, this system is both large—with annual expenditures exceeding $30 billion—and multifaceted, so it is important to take a closer look to identify the specific financial problems. To this end, we examine how well California is meeting various water management goals and identify areas where lack of funding is a key obstacle to success. This closer examination reveals a more nuanced picture of fiscal health for California’s water system and pinpoints areas requiring urgent policy attention. Contrary to many media reports, California’s water supply and wastewater providers, which together account for over 85 percent of total spending, are performing reasonably well—providing safe, reliable levels of service and preparing for future needs. These utilities are almost entirely locally funded, and to date they have generally been able to raise rates to comply with new treatment requirements and replace aging infrastructure.

  • Building the One Water Movement
    Annual Report 2017 Building the One Water Movement The US Water Alliance had a great year in 2017, thanks to A Note the strength and active engagement of our members and from the Board Chair partners. With guidance and support from our members, we led the way on pioneering initiatives that are transforming and the CEO the way that the nation views, values, and manages water. From our One Water Summit in New Orleans that drew over 650 attendees, to our groundbreaking report on equity in water, to our collaboration on nutrient reduction and onsite non-potable reuse policy, the US Water Alliance is bringing people together and forging new solutions to our most pressing water challenges. As we kick off a new year, we need to push harder than ever to make sure that water is front and center in our national dialogue. Water issues are going to be affected at the federal, state, and local level this year. Midterm elections could dramatically reshape the House and Senate, and several critical pieces of water-related legislation are moving in Washington. Gubernatorial races are happening across the country this year, and local elected officials continue to list water infrastructure as a top concern. We need to use our collective voice and influence to help shape the water agenda, at all levels of government. We are optimistic that, together with our members and partners, 2018 can be the year of water. There are so many important events and initiatives that our network has the opportunity to plug into, from One Water Summit 2018 in the Twin Cities from July 10–12, to our fourth annual Imagine a Day Without Water on October 10.

  • The One Water Roadmap: the Sustainable Management of Life's
    One Water Roadmap: The Sustainable Management of Life’s Most Essential Resource America’s water future is at a crossroads. On the one hand, Preface we are experiencing challenges like we have never seen before, from drought to flooding to water contamination. On the other, the stewards of water—utility managers, public officials, farmers, river keepers, businesses, manu facturers, community leaders, philanthropy, and more—are forging transformative solutions. We have come a long way to get to this tipping point. We present this compendium to build the field of practice and make the case for the One Water approach. This road­ map puts forward key strategies and real­world examples of One Water management in action. Most importantly, this document is a testament to what can be achieved when all water stakeholders work together. The US Water Alliance was formed in 2008 to bring together diverse interests to identify and advance common­ ground, achievable solutions to our nation’s most pressing water challenges. Our work is designed to accelerate the adoption of One Water policies and programs that advance a better quality of life for all. This report was conceived and developed by US Water Alliance members, who know that to succeed requires stretching out of comfort zones, engaging new partners, creatively leveraging resources, and much more. Together, we are on a journey to a sustainable water future. Kevin Shafer Radhika Fox Executive Director, Chief Executive Officer, Milwaukee Metropolitan US Water Alliance Sewerage District; Board Chair, US Water Alliance One Water Roadmap 1 Acknowledgments The US Water Alliance would like to acknowledge the many partners whose invaluable contributions helped make this report possible.

  • Commitments to Action on Building a Sustainable Water Future
    COMMITMENTS TO ACTION ON BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE WATER FUTURE The Executive Office of the President March 22, 2016 Water challenges are facing communities and regions across the United States, impacting millions of lives and costing billions of dollars in damages. Recent events, including record- breaking drought in the West, severe flooding in the Southeast, and the water-quality crisis in Flint, MI, have elevated a national dialogue on the state of our Nation’s water resources and infrastructure. This dialogue is increasingly important as a growing population and changing climate continue to exacerbate water challenges. On March 22, 2016—World Water Day—the Obama Administration hosted the first-ever White House Water Summit to shine a spotlight on the importance of cross-cutting, creative solutions to solving the water problems of today, as well as to highlight the innovative strategies that will catalyze change across the ways in which we use, conserve, protect, and think about water in the years to come. As part of the Summit, the Administration called on institutions and organizations from all sectors to make new commitments to build a sustainable water future in the United States. In response, institutions and organizations made the following commitments, as reported and described by respondents. Contents New Steps Being Taken by the Administration .................................................................................... 1 Advancing Water Sustainability on All Fronts .....................................................................................
