Water, Water Everywhere - Not

One of Los Angeles' greatest characteristics is the stunning optimism of its citizens. Certainly the remarkable climate has something to do with it - the eternal Spring that creates a spotless mind. But the downside of this great climate is that people usually love it when it rains since there's finally "weather". But there are far too few rainy days for our growing population. Can't drink the ocean (yet), can't pump enough, borrow enough or recycle enough (yet) to meet the needs of the millions of people who water lawns, wash clothes (don't forget the cars) and themselves.

We have been talking for years about recycling water, developing more grey-water systems, building desalinization plants. So far - lots and lots of talk and a little bit of hand-wringing - hasn't brought us a sustainable source of water sufficient to meet our needs in the not-too-distant future. So - please - don't miss our program on March 22 (see our program listings on the home page). You really do need to know and you certainly need to care. Jon Goodman
