Water scarcity and insecurity caused by climate change and anthropological resource depletion has significantly impacted water costs and quality of life in California. The city of Coalinga in Fresno County was identified as an area of concern due to their ongoing issues with water scarcity. Our team conducted research on California’s water availability, water use, conservation efforts, public perception of water strategies, and costs associated with alternative water sources. Potable water management recommendations were then created for Coalinga which includes water conservation incentives and wastewater reuse to decrease both import costs and reliance on stressed fresh water sources.
