92: California needs a new water supply. Could wetlands be an answer?

As drought and the effects of climate change continue to threaten the water supply that Californians rely on, experts at UC Berkeley are looking for new ways to generate an ongoing, stable water supply in its cities that is not as reliant on the weather. "Californians are leaders worldwide in the recycling of water," says David Sedlak, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and director of the Berkeley Water Center. There's just one problem that needs to be solved — and if it is, it could open up water recycling opportunities in many parts of the world.Listen to the episode, read the transcript and see photos on UC Berkeley News: https://news.berkeley.edu/2022/01/21/water-recyclingIf you haven't already, follow Berkeley Voices and review us on Apple Podcasts!UC Berkeley illustration by Neil Freese; Music by Blue Dot Sessions Hosted on Acast.
