There’s been a lot of talk about a La Nina pattern this year but what is it and how does it affect California? We stop by DWR State Climatologist Dr Mike’s office to get some insight into La Nina and what it means for us. #WaterYear #California

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is a 72 percent chance of a 6.7 or greater magnitude earthquake in the Bay Area by 2043, and a major earthquake centered in the Delta poses a significant threat to levees. The collapse of Delta levees could allow salt water to contaminate the State Water Project delivery system and jeopardize the water supply for 27 million Californians, leading to serious social and economic impacts. The Delta Conveyance Project would minimize this threat. For a closer look at the seismic risk to the State Water Project watch this episode in the Quick Question video series at https://lnkd.in/gfH9M-sW #California #DeltaConveyanceProject #Earthquake

The Delta Conveyance Project will protect against the expected effects of climate change and sea level rise, avoiding future shortages and maintaining water supply reliability. Failure to plan for the future by modernizing water conveyance infrastructure in the Delta will prove far more expensive in the long run. Water shortages and mandatory restrictions will impact our state and local economies.

Last week, DWR scientists Emily Alejandrino, Jordi Vasquez, and Tyler Anthony met with Sacramento County high school juniors and seniors to discuss water, energy and climate change challenges and solutions at SMUD’s Youth Energy Summit. Students will take this knowledge and design and implement service projects for their schools or communities to promote a cleaner, healthier region for all. Proving the youth really are the future and the future is bright! #Science #ClimateChange #Water #Energy #California #Sacramento

Even though Flood Preparedness Week isn’t until October 19th-26th, we know it’s important to always stay prepared for potential flooding to keep our communities safe. Today, DWR Deputy Director of Flood Management and Dam Safety Laura Hollender joined representatives from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers South Pacific Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District, Speaker Robert Rivas, Senator John Laird, Representative Zoe Lofgren, Representative Jimmy Panetta and many others to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Pajaro River Flood Risk Management Project, which will significantly increase the level of flood protection for the communities of Pajaro and Watsonville. The project will be entirely funded by our federal partners and DWR, a first for a project of this kind in California.
