Do Californians really want conservation as a way of life? Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

Darcy and Darcy are on opposite sides once again! This time they take their respective stands on the State Water Resources Control Board’s staff recommendations to make Conservation a Way of Life for all Californians, regardless of water supply or availability. This new effort will put all Urban water agencies on a budget determined by SWRCB staff.
Darcy and Darcy discuss whether these efforts make a difference, if they detract from the water infrastructure investments that need to be made, and if this is how California’s economy will not only survive but thrive.
