California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a sweeping new water strategy for the state that calls for more than $8 billion in state investments to shore up the dwindling resource. According to the document, the state faces the loss of 10% of its water supply by 2040.
The plan outlines a strategy to capture, recycle, desalinate and conserve more water over the next two decades to provide enough supply for nearly 8.4 million households.
