KPCC reports on how the Los Angeles County Department of Water and Power plans to handle the record melting snowpack which is producing more runoff water than the Owens River watershed can handle.
KPCC featured Heal the Bay’s 2016-2017 Beach Report Card which ranked the state’s beaches based on how much harmful bacteria was found in the water from April 2016 through March. The report highlights this year’s storms and the impact they had on beach water quality, emphasizing the need for infrastructure to reuse polluted water instead of letting it flow out into the sea.
