California\u2019s canal system moves water hundreds of miles from the Sierra Nevada foothills to Los Angeles and San Diego. Adapting to 21st century water conditions requires less reliance on energy-hungry water imports and more sharing of water between users, according to panelists who participated in Circle of Blue\u2019s August 18 town hall.\u00a0Click image to enlarge.<\/em><\/div>\n

<\/b>As perhaps the\u00a0strongest El Nino on record<\/a>\u00a0forms in the eastern Pacific Ocean, public officials in California are preparing for a winter in which the state\u2019s drought emergency might be interrupted by disastrous floods.<\/p>\n

Yet even a \u201cGodzilla\u201d El Nino, as one NASA scientist dubbed the warming ocean waters, will not solve the state\u2019s water supply imbalances that preceded the current drought and will persist long after, according to experts who spoke Tuesday at a\u00a0virtual town hall<\/a>, hosted by Circle of Blue and Maestro Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cGodzilla can\u2019t dig cisterns and build us water storage infrastructure, and Godzilla unfortunately doesn\u2019t have freezing breath ensure that all the rain we get is going to restore the snowpack in our mountains,\u201d said Kevin Klowden, managing director of the Milken Institute\u2019s California Center in Santa Monica, at the Catalyst: California town hall.<\/p>\n
