Sister Se and Alicia Murphy
Growing up in Los Angeles, I never really thought twice about water. It was always there when I wanted it -- bottled, in the sink, in the yard.

Titles matter
The Los Angeles Times recently posted an op-ed featuring nine water experts’ opinions on ways to save water. The article is titled “Shorter Showers? Nine more ways the State has to change its ways.” More

When the levy breaks and dam bursts, there goes the city. Then the real drought begins.
