Energy and Resources Group Colloquium

Persistent spatialized, racialized, and socioeconomic disparities characterize drinking water access in the U.S. Despite California’s legal recognition of the human right to water more than a decade ago, many residents face challenges accessing safe and affordable water. California presents a critical case to examine how state-society interactions shape water access. Through empirical work on water policy, water access, and water quality, this talk elucidates key challenges and possibilities for more equitable water access in a changing climate.
