After a decade of advocacy, today California made a landmark decision to adopt the nation’s first comprehensive Direct Potable Reuse regulations. Now, all CA communities have the tools necessary to reuse all of their wastewater into drinking #cawater resources.

A decade of advocacy and leadership from Sean Bothwell and CA Waterkeepers made this possible. Great news!

State Water Board recently approved regs for turning wastewater to high-quality drinking #water. Called "direct potable reuse", the process enables water systems to generate climate-resilient water sources & reduce #wastewater discharged to rivers/ocean. bit.ly/484AMXX

The Klamath River dam removal project-the largest river restoration project in American History-has begun! Project will restore aquatic ecosystems, improve the resilience of habitat, and mitigate the effects of ongoing drought in the Klamath Basin. More: bit.ly/41X1y2l

Did you know that CA developed 1st regs in U.S. to address use of recycled water for agricultural irrigation in 1918? More recently, CA approved regs for use of recycled water for high-quality drinking #water. More info: bit.ly/484AMXX

Less than two years ago, the Supreme Court stripped the federal Clean Water Act of the many strong protections it offered to waters within California. I introduced #SB601 to fill this void left by Sackett v EPA and protect access to clean water in California.
