The Silicon Valley Leadership Group is organizing two water workshops, addressing strategies for local water conservation as well as state water management and policy options.
Drought conditions, Delta pumping curtailments in 2008, controversy over water bonds and climate change pose challenges to clean, reliable sources of water in our workplaces and in our homes.
