We won't use that old Mark Twain quote (that he probably never wrote anyway) but fighting over water has been California's favorite pastime for at least 175 years. If you think norcal/socal baseball rivalries are bitter - try the socal vs. Delta water wars. One of the people tasked with managing that aqua drama is Jennifer Pierre, General Manager for the State Water Contractors  – a statewide, non-profit association of the public water agencies that contract with the Department of Water Resources to receive water from the State Water Project. The SWP provides water for 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland.  A UC Davis alumna with a bachelor's in environmental biology and conservation, Pierre has 20 years of experience in Delta management and uses that experience to help improve water supply and operations for the SWC. She joined us to talk about challenges of climate change, issues from overpumping groundwater, and if DC and and California can make nice on Water Policy.1:01 Capitol Weekly Insiders Survey1:58 Dominique Donette2:58 AI podcasts3:33 Top 100 Party6:04 Jennifer Pierre7:30 Water in the California Budget8:53 "Housing doesn't happen without water"9:41 Background12:53 Managing Climate Change: Hydrology13:41 Subsidence: "We've got a major problem on our hands"16:59 Status of DC vs. California water fights20:04 Playing peacemaker among different stakeholders22:43 Prop. 4 implementation26:30 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Karla Nemeth, Director of the California Department of Water Resources, a verifiable Woman of Water – aka a WOW - joins Darcy and Darcy this week and the conversation never stops! Karla shares her experiences and how relationships are the key to California's water response success – especially in a crisis. She tells the Darcys how she has learned and adapted. Those lessons and adaptations came from weather uncertainty, regulations, legislation, and serving four (Yes FOUR!) Governors, each with their own Water and Delta plans. The complexity of her job grows daily, however, that has not dissuaded her. Karla shares that her job is to solve problems and she is ready for whatever may come.Darcy and Darcy don't let her off easy.  They ask her about floods and California's preparedness, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, the Delta Conservation Plan (DCP), Infrastructure or lack thereof, and what keeps her up at night.  Listen in!

High in the Himalayas the waters of Asia's eight largest rivers intersect. The rivers of the Asian Highlands are central to the world's weather systems and activities in their water catchments have shaped the human past and will shape the future. These rivers support more than three billion people and provide water for 85% of Asia's populations, and what happens to Asian highland rivers is of global significance. Today human activities are contributing to rising temperatures, which leads to glacial shrinkage and uncertain river flows. Highland rivers are suffering from multiple crises, including inept management, negative effects from poorly planned damming, and declining fish stocks, along with decreased biodiversity. This event explores the rivers of this critically important region and the iconological crisis that they face.

House Bill 2808 and House Bill 2165 seek to address the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) budget shortfall of $875,000, but through different methods. Instead of choosing which bill offers the best path towards good governance, the legislature is saying, “both.” HB 2808 would increase the permitting and licensing fees related to wells. HB 2165 would provide an increase in funding to OWRD from the general fund of $830,415.Initially proposed as a one-or-the-other approach, the current recommendation from the committee is that both bills are needed, with no downsizing. The solution addressed by these bills is critical to the one-in-four Oregonians relying on domestic wells. But well owners, not taxpayers, should pay for increased employment costs at OWRD. Permit fees are a means of ensuring that the agency has a fiscal responsibility to process applications, versus relying on a one-time bailout from the general fund that has no statutory requirements for processing applications.When fees are required by law, project beneficiaries should pay the price, not taxpayers. Fee increases should be permitted only when agencies can show increasing employment costs, increasing demand for processors, and that no agency rulemaking has created obstacles to processing. In the case of OWRD, funding increases are needed, but this should come from landowners wanting a new well, not unsuspecting taxpayers who are already paying their own monthly water bills.

Since March this year, there have been several demonstrations in Nepal, some by pro-monarchists and some by those who oppose them. Whilst the major political parties have denounced the pro-monarchy protests, a section of Nepalis are in support of the monarchy's restoration. In our ongoing efforts to bring regular reports, analyses, and diverse perspectives on the latest developments, in this podcast episode, our Nepal correspondent Prayas Dulal sits with Dwarika Nath Dhungel, a social and political analyst. He is a retired secretary of Nepal's Ministry of Water Resources who has published several books and academic papers. Dhungel is also a former lecturer in political science and identifies as an independent researcher. - गए केही साता यता नेपालमा विकसित राजनीतिक घटनाक्रमका बारे हामीले क्रमिक रूपमा विविध सामाग्रीहरू प्रसारण गरिरहेका छौँ। कोही नेपालमा अब राजतन्त्र पुनर्वाहली हुँदैन भनिरहेका छन् भने अरू चाहिँ नेपालमा दक्ष अभिभावकका रूपमा राजसंस्था पुनर्वाहली हुनुपर्ने माग अगाडी सारिरहेका छन्। यही क्रममा आज हामी, नेपाल सरकारका एकजना पूर्व प्रशासक, विश्लेषक तथा राजनीति शास्त्रका पूर्व लेक्चरर द्वारिकानाथ ढुङ्गेलसँग संवाददाता प्रयास दुलालले गरेको कुराकानी प्रस्तुत गर्दै छौँ। पूर्व जलस्रोत सचिव रहेका ढुङ्गेलले विभिन्न पुस्तकहरू प्रकाशित गरेका छन् र आफूलाई एक स्वतन्त्र अनुसन्धानकर्ताको रूपमा चिनाउँछन्।

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Jonathan Jennings, a meteorologist at the Utah Division of Water Resources and president of the Weather Modification Association. Jennings's work focuses on cloud seeding, a technology that can reduce hail and increase rainfall or snowfall by introducing chemicals into clouds, yielding more water for agriculture, aquifers, and bodies of water. Jennings outlines the chemistry and physics behind cloud seeding, how much additional precipitation the technology can elicit from clouds, and the scale at which cloud seeding is used. He also speaks to public concerns about modifying weather and shares insights on how experts can better communicate the goals, methods, and impacts of this technology to the public.

In this wide-ranging conversation on hydrology and climate change, Dr. Dipak Gyawali, former Minister of Water Resources for Nepal, offers a series of crucial insights into the often indifferent, selectively inadequate, and politically compromised responses to the climate crisis. Arguing for a more sophisticated, multipronged approach, Dr. Gyawali critiques dominant Western scientific paradigms for failing to recognize the climate crisis primarily as a crisis of water. He highlights how these frameworks not only marginalizewater-related concerns but also frequently dismiss indigenous hydrological knowledge systems as unscientific or primitive, thereby reinforcing global hierarchies of knowledge and power.Urging communities and policymakers alike to rethink the prevailing narratives that frame climate change, Dr. Gyawalisituates his critique in the context of Nepal—a landlocked country with an estimated 6,000 rivers and the world's second-largest reserve of fresh water. For Dr. Gyawali, Nepal serves as a powerful case study of how globalized,technocratic approaches often overlook the political and democratic dimensions of water governance. He argues that genuine sustainability cannot be achieved without broad-based equitability over governance. Drawing from his ownexperiences both as a field researcher and as a minister navigating the political complexities of water policy, he underscores how centralized, top-down management of water resources often exacerbates existing inequalitiesand undermines democratic decision-making processes. In this light, he calls for a radical rethinking of global “hydro-hegemony”—the political domination of water resources by powerful interests—and urges a shift toward more inclusive,community-driven models of hydrological governance. Dr. Gyawali challenges the international community to move beyond tokenistic gestures and to engagemeaningfully with the democratic potential embedded in local and indigenous approaches to water stewardship.

The Ag Net News Hour's Lorre Boyer and Nick Papagni, “The AgMeter” started out the show by discussing California's Assembly Bill 1264, which aims to ban ultra-processed foods from school meals by 2032. These foods are linked to 32 health conditions, including obesity and ADHD. The bill faces challenges in making healthy foods appealing to children and affordable for schools. Suggestions included using fresh, local produce and innovative packaging to make healthier options more appealing. The conversation also touched on the broader issue of food waste and the importance of addressing obesity, which is influenced by both diet and sedentary activities like video games. In the second segment, hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni discussed the severe impact of record honey bee deaths on agriculture, with U.S. beekeepers reporting over 60% colony losses, costing $139 million and raising honey prices. Pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids, are suspected, with multi-generational harm noted. The California almond industry, worth $11 billion, faces severe pollination shortages. Despite concerns, some argue that more bee companies indicate a future surplus. The University of California is studying long-term effects on pollinator populations. The hosts emphasized the importance of due diligence and ongoing research to address the issue. Lastly, Nick brought up the impact of recent storms on California's water allocation, with the Department of Water Resources increasing water to state projects to 40%. Nick criticized the 40% allocation, noting that much water goes to the ocean, while farmers struggle. They also discussed the challenges of using ocean water for firefighting due to salinization. Additionally, Nick ad Lorrie addressed a controversial wind energy project in Shasta County, which could generate 205 megawatts but faces opposition due to environmental and safety concerns. The project would benefit 80,000 homes, but local opposition has spent significant funds fighting it. Lorrie cited some issues with wind farms and wind turbines based upon her prior coverage in other areas of the country.

The history of the West has always been defined by water. Long before settlers arrived, Indigenous peoples designed complex water management systems to cultivate the arid land. In the 19th and 20th centuries, large-scale engineering projects redistributed water across the West, enabling the region's rapid growth. Today, western water resources are stretched thin, and as rivers and streams dry up, so too does the environmental resiliency that's provided by healthy riparian zones.   To help address this issue, many western states are looking to beavers – long known as nature's engineers – to ensure more water is retained on the landscape. New research shows that this will help restore biodiversity and mitigate the effects of prolonged drought, unexpected flooding, and catastrophic wildfires.     In this episode of Out West, WGA policy advisors Jonah Seifer and Zach Nowak spoke with beaver experts from around the region about how these aquatic rodents can help us restore balance to the West's water systems.   For these discussions they were joined by Emily Fairfax, an ecohydrologist, beaver researcher, and Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of Minnesota; Chris Jordan, a Fisheries Biologist with NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center; Alexander Funk, the Director of Water Resources and Senior Counsel at the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership; Marshall Wolf, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission; and Jerry Altermatt, a habitat biologist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.        

“Where we bridge the gap between water plant operators and engineers” Matt Casto Jordan Jackson In today's episode we are going to talk about “Protecting Source Water.” Our guests are Matt Casto and Jordan Jackson of  North Carolina Rural Water Association. Matt's unconventional journey into the water industry began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture, where he developed an improvisational problem-solving mindset that he's carried into 14 years of hands-on experience in water operations. He's worked as a surface water plant operator and superintendent, Circuit Rider, and he now serves as a Source Water Protection Specialist with the North Carolina Rural Water Association. Matt enjoys both the technical aspects of water treatment and the hands-on work of system repairs, feeling equally at home in the field or the boardroom. Outside of work, he is an avid saltwater aquarist, ornamental gardener, and recreational hockey player. Born and raised in North Carolina, Jordan has 12 years of water and wastewater utility experience with expertise in source water protection, cross connection control, wastewater laboratory and pretreatment programs. She obtained a Masters of Water Resources from the University of New Mexico and holds NC Biological Wastewater Grade IV certification in addition to Utility Management Certification issued by National Rural Water Association.

Jeff Mosher, general manager of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA), discusses the agency's role in managing and protecting water resources in the Santa Ana River basin. Established in 1975 as a joint power authority, SAWPA is composed of five member agencies working together to address water supply reliability, water quality, recycled water, wastewater treatment, groundwater management, brine disposal, and regional planning. Jeff highlights SAWPA's mission to develop and maintain collaborative programs and projects that ensure the economic and environmental sustainability of the watershed.

Utah's Division of Water Resources says that cloud seeding — a procedure that increases snowfall by injecting silver iodide into the atmosphere — adds about 200,000 acre feet of water to the state's river system each year. But there's a catch. Cloud seeding only works when it's already snowing. And this winter, it's been so dry in southeastern Utah, there were hardly enough clouds in the sky for the state to operate its new cloud seeding stations in the La Sal Mountains. The region has only received about half of the snowfall for a typical year. - Show Notes - https://water.utah.gov/cloudseeding/

The Wilkes Center recently hosted its 3rd annual climate solutions hackathon at the end of January.  This year the focus was water resources. The “hackathon” as we've come to call it – borrowing the term from the computer coding world – is an intense problem-solving competition where we challenge U of U undergraduate and graduate students from any discipline to team-up and develop proposals in a slide deck within 24 hours.We asked students to propose an innovative, data-driven solution in one of five categories:Municipal Water SupplyInland and Coastal FloodingAgricultureDroughtWater and Energy InfrastructureUltimately, each team was graded on how we they addressed important factors, such as: Problem definition and analysis; Uniqueness and innovation;  Idea feasibility; and Implementation and scalability. Over 90 students participated in this year's water hackathon, with 17 impressive projects submitted by the end.  Only the top 3 teams were received awards.  And recently, I spoke with the team members of the winning team, whose members include: Sam Carter, Baylee Olds, Tyler Yoklavich -- each of them graduate students studying hydrology.  Their hackathon solution – titled “SmartFLOW City Program” formulated a program to connect municipal water managers with water researchers in academia.  Essentially, they envisioned a program to encourage cities to enhance their water-resilience tool box with various cutting edge techniques being developed by folks in academia.  Bridging on-the-ground management and emerging modern science.  So, here's my conversation with Team SmartFLOW.  I hope you enjoy it.

California's water rules are changing—permanently. Starting January 1, 2025, new regulations from the State Water Resources Control Board will require major water suppliers to cut water delivery significantly by 2040. This isn't just about managing water during droughts anymore—this is about building drought resilience into everyday life. Water agencies across the state will now have to develop community-specific water budgets that account for residential, commercial, and landscape use. The measures include limiting outdoor watering, encouraging water-efficient appliances, and pushing Californians to rethink how we use every drop. And here's the kicker: failure to comply could cost agencies up to $10,000 a day in fines. So what does this mean for all of us? Are these changes a burden—or an opportunity to innovate? In episode 22 of What Matters Water TV + Podcast, we have brought together a panel of experts to explore just that: Chelsea Haines, Regulatory Director with the Association of California Water Agencies, offering a statewide perspective on this massive shift. Kelly Kopp, Professor and Extension Specialist at Utah State University, who's focused on water efficiency research. William Ringland, Public Affairs and Conservation Manager at East Valley Water District, where smaller agencies are stepping up to meet big expectations. Fiona Sanchez, Director of Water Resources at Irvine Ranch Water District, who's at the forefront of implementing large-scale water solutions. Together, we'll unpack the opportunities, the challenges, and the practical steps agencies and communities must take to get this right. The stakes are high, and only time will tell if these changes deliver a sustainable water future without creating financial strain on communities.

Last month, the Oregon Water Resources Commission voted to change the state’s groundwater rules. The new rules would require new water users to prove the water is available before the state will issue permits for wells. Ivan Gall was appointed to head the Water Resources Department last spring. He joins us to talk about the new rules and other challenges facing water resources in Oregon.
