David: thank you forsaving our water!

The Big Questions •  #1: Availability •  How will we secure adequate supplies of high quality freshwater

for the West, a region which is simultaneously experiencing greater demands for water and increasing uncertainty about the volume of its freshwater supply?

•  #2: Allocation •  Considering the competing demands for freshwater between

growing residential populations, agricultural users, recreational users, species, and the ecosystem, how do we design water management policies that are both grounded on the best scientific evidence and politically feasible?
