The Drought in the western U.S.
OUR MISSION
What if we could end the endless drought? That … and nothing short of that … is the mission of the Secure Water Alliance. Ending the severe water shortages that come with drought is what drives us to fight for reliable access to safe, clean, affordable water for all Southern California residents and businesses.

LOS ANGELES TIMES
IT’S TIME FOR ACTION
There is no doubt that our climate is getting drier. This year’s cuts in water supplies from northern California will likely be followed with reductions in the amount of water we receive from the Colorado River.
We must act now to protect Southern California from this potentially catastrophic cycle of ever-increasing droughts and drought-spawned crises, like wildfires, that threaten our homes, our lives, our economy and our future.
“What we’re focusing on
is creating more water –
moving away from a scarcity mindset
to one more of abundance…”
– GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM, AUGUST 2022
THE SOLUTION
We believe that enough smart, reliable, environmentally sensitive water projects can be brought online to end the water shortages by better managing the changing cycles of drought and wet years in California. Accomplishing this will require a new level of focused, strategic, campaign-style advocacy in support of new conservation and water supply projects, which is what the Secure Water Alliance brings.
Come learn about the incredibly smart water projects that are sustainable and well-planned, and will bring clean, safe, affordable water to Southern California.
