California's water crisis is rapidly turning into an energy crisis. The drought has reduced river flows that power hundreds of hydroelectric stations, forcing the state to rely more heavily on gas-powered generators to provide electricity to homes, businesses and factories. How are the state's public utilities adapting to embrace more resilient conservation policies to make better use of our limited water resources? Can we build additional capacity and storage in time to avert greater damage? What can state leaders learn from other established water and electricity policies from around the globe, and how can revised pricing strategies influence usage, delivery and conservation?
