About
Integrated Water Management---------------------------In 2018, we worked to advance integrated water management at a variety of scales. We developed a unifying framework for evaluating the multiple benefits of water projects, programs, and policies, so as to optimize the return on investment. We also examined the co-benefits of stormwater capture and quantified the impact of those benefits on its cost. Finally, we worked to examine the opportunities for landscape efficiency improvements and implementation of stormwater best management practices on commercial and industrial parcels in the Santa Ana River Watershed to advance regional water objectives. Water Access, Sanitation, and Hygiene-------------------------------------In 2018, we examined Californias efforts to advance the Human Right to Water.
