Summary
What happens when an entire region realizes it can no longer solve its water challenges alone? In this episode, Geoff Vanden Heuvel explains the origins of the Water Blueprint for the San Joaquin Valley, a collaborative effort bringing together water agencies, commodity groups, local governments and other stakeholders to develop a unified strategy for California's agricultural future. He discusses SGMA's impact, the need for regional cooperation, infrastructure investments and why building consensus may be just as important as building new water projects.
