California Water: The Future of a Vital Resource

Amy Steinfeld, drawing on more than 20 years of experience in the water industry, will demystify the complex world of California water. She will examine modern demands, explore the engineering marvels that defy geography, and unpack the state’s enduring hydrologic paradox: 75% of the water falls in Northern California, while 75% of demand lies in Southern California. She will also provide an inside look at Santa Barbara’s unique and diverse
water supplies. You will walk away

with a sharper understanding of how California is preparing for more intense swings between drought and deluge.
