In this episode of the 21st Century Water podcast, Mahesh Lunani talks with Craig Miller, the general manager of the Western Municipal Water District in California. Craig brings over three decades of experience in water management, focusing on operations, engineering, and community service. He discusses the significant decisions in his career and his vision for creating a climate-resilient water system in Southern California.Craig begins by reflecting on his career in the water industry, emphasizing the importance of his decision to enter the field. He recounts how a mentor guided him early in his career, leading him to secure vital water rights on the Santa Ana River. This 16-year journey culminated in securing 500,000 acre-feet of annual water rights for the Orange County Water District, which was a pivotal achievement in his career.Another major decision Craig discusses is the implementation of storage programs to capture and retain water from winter storms. He shares the challenges and successes of working with the federal government to secure water conservation storage behind reservoirs initially built for flood control. These efforts, despite taking years and involving significant regulatory hurdles, have proven crucial for water management in the region.California's recurring droughts and their impact on water supply are central themes of the discussion. Craig highlights the severe water crisis California faces, particularly during prolonged drought periods. To address this, he initiated the "Solve the Water Crisis" campaign, which has grown to include various stakeholders across the state. This initiative aims to advocate for significant investments in water infrastructure to ensure long-term water supply resilience.Craig also talks about Western's diverse and sophisticated water infrastructure. Initially formed to import water, Western has expanded to include wastewater treatment plants, brackish desalters, storage basins, and complex groundwater systems. By developing local water supplies and creating innovative solutions like the wholesale enterprise system, Western has enhanced water reliability and reduced costs for its customers.Budgeting and affordability are critical issues for water agencies. Craig explains how Western is focusing on efficiency to offset the rising costs of water supply. By optimizing energy use, investing in battery storage, and improving operational strategies, Western has achieved significant cost savings. These efforts are crucial in maintaining affordability while ensuring the reliability of water services.Circular economy principles are integral to Western's operations. Craig discusses initiatives to use water multiple times before it is discharged, emphasizing the importance of recycling and reusing water. He also underscores the need for blending traditional and innovative water management strategies to achieve a sustainable water supply.In discussing leadership, Craig advises aspiring water leaders to embrace change, communicate effectively, and get things done. He highlights the importance of surrounding oneself with great leaders and developing a strong team. Craig's approach to leadership and his commitment to long-term water supply planning provide valuable insights for anyone in the water industry.Craig's vision for a climate-resilient water system in Southern California involves a combination of strategic investments, innovative thinking, and collaboration across various sectors. His work demonstrates the importance of proactive planning and leadership in addressing the complex challenges of water management in the 21st century.More information:Western Municipal Water District: https://wmwd.comCalifornia State Water Resources Control Board: https://www.waterboards.ca.govMetropolitan Water District of Southern California: https://www.mwdh2o.comCalifornia State Legislature - SB 366: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB366](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB366 Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/
