Building Resilient Water System  

With Subject Matter Expert - Cary Lowe 

 

A clean and potable water supply is vital to human existence. Natural challenges varying from floods, population change, and droughts are challenging our water supply. Waste water services are threatened by contamination and aging infrastructure. It is up to us to understand that sustainability needs to improve these systems. Additionally, we need to create resilient water systems that will prepare us for unexpected water challenges such as water rationing, flooding during El Niño, and increase in wildfires due to insufficient rains. We will address the water sector inter-dependencies and the progress San Diego is making to build a resilient water system.

 

 

We invite you to bring your expertise and add your content during the Q & A . . . We learn better, together.

 
What in the world is going on?
How do we solve the big global challenges facing our world?

Resiliency is about cities adapting to the change that is occurring in our climate and preparing against future catastrophic events. 
  • How do we prepare for more flooding and increasing drought and wildfires?
  • How do we prepare for sea level rise and spreading infectious disease?
  • Will we see climate refugees and food shortages?
