On Tuesday, June 18, 2019, Bloomberg hosted a Data for Good Exchange (D4GX) event in San Francisco that looked at the ways data science is being used to address California’s water crisis and to mitigate the impact of climate change.

Kate Gordon, Director of the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, delivered opening remarks and looked at how California’s climate is changing at an accelerating rate, causing unprecedented weather patterns, more frequent and larger droughts, wildfires, floods, and mud slides, and threatening the state's clean water supply -- the combination of which is putting its communities, environment, and economy at risk.

Following her remarks, a discussion between Meredith M. Lee, Ph.D., Executive Director of the West Big Data Innovation Hub and Patrick Atwater, Water Data Project Manager at ARGO Labs -- moderated by David R. Baker, Bloomberg News' Energy & Cleantech Reporter -- took a closer look at the ongoing challenges, where progress is being made, and what still needs to be accomplished to have lasting, meaningful impact.
