About the SoCal Water Blog Series
The SoCal Water Blog Series brings together blogs developed under the Urban Watershed Resilience Program, along with collaborative efforts that explore water systems across Southern California.
These blogs cover key topics including water quality, water use efficiency, water supply security, and water equity. While each blog exists as a standalone resource, this page provides a central place to explore them as a connected system.
Together, these topics reflect the need to manage water comprehensively in a highly urbanized region, where planning, infrastructure, and community practices all contribute to long-term water resilience.
Stormwater in Southern California
Stormwater is one of the most important water challenges and opportunities in Southern California. In urban environments, runoff can contribute to flooding and transport pollutants, while also offering opportunities for capture, groundwater recharge, and nature-based solutions.
