Harnessing the Power of Water Efficiency and Reuse
March 20, 2023 | video
Water-use efficiency and water reuse are powerful, albeit still underutilized, strategies for enhancing water sustainability and resilience. Together, they can substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity (SDG 6.4); enhance water quality (SDG 6.3); protect and restore water-related ecosystems (SDG 6.6); and reduce energy use (SDG 7.3) and associated greenhouse gas emissions (SDG 13), among other benefits.
Salton Sea Salinity Webinar
February 27, 2023 | video
California’s Salton Sea – the state’s largest lake – contains more than 470 million metric tons of dissolved salts. It’s more than twice as salty as the ocean and getting saltier. An unknown amount of additional salt – likely measuring in the hundreds of millions of tons – lies on the lake bottom and along the shore. Some three million tons of salts – enough to cover a square mile of land three feet deep – flow into the Sea every year.

Salton Sea Water Quality – Webinar
May 24, 2022 | video
Salton Sea water quality continues to change as the Salton Sea recedes, affecting fish and invertebrates and the design and function of habitat projects atop the lakebed. Recently, information on Salton Sea water quality has been limited. Join a Pacific Institute webinar on Tuesday, May 24 at 12:00pm PT to learn from a panel of experts about nutrient loadings in the lake’s major tributaries, changes in nutrient concentrations in the lake itself, the sulfur cycle and trace metals in the lake, selenium, and the role of the local water quality regulator.
