Another major milestone for the Delta Conveyance Project.

Federal agencies have now completed the Endangered Species Act process for construction activities, moving this critical infrastructure project one step closer to reality. The Delta Conveyance Project is about protecting Californiaโ€™s water future, modernizing aging infrastructure, and improving reliability for millions of Californians in the face of climate change and seismic risk.

Funny how the project keeps clearing hurdle after hurdle despite the endless noise from opponents determined to stop progress at every turn.

A closer look inside a historic day in Carlsbad.

Water leaders from across the Southwest gathered at the Claude โ€œBudโ€ Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant to discuss new opportunities for collaboration along the Colorado River system.

From agency leaders seated together at the table, to conversations focused on innovation, partnerships, and regional cooperation, the day highlighted what progress can look like when the water community comes together.

Federal, state, and local voices all part of the conversation. Big ideas. Real collaboration. Important steps toward a more reliable water future for the Southwest.

This week in Carlsbad for a truly historic day at the Claude โ€œBudโ€ Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant.

Federal, state, and local water leaders came together for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding focused on exploring new opportunities for interstate water exchanges along the Colorado River.

This kind of collaboration and creativity is exactly where the water community can make a difference. The agreement opens the door for agencies across California, Nevada, and Arizona to explore partnerships on desalination, recycled water, and other innovative supply projects that could benefit the entire region.

These are the kinds of conversations and partnerships that will help shape a more reliable and sustainable water future for the Southwest.

Water is always part of the conversation, and the work to educate, collaborate, and advocate continues.

Today in Downtown Los Angeles at the historic Biltmore Hotel for the VerdeXchange conference.

Water leaders from across Los Angeles came together to discuss the principles, policies, and priorities shaping Californiaโ€™s water future and how public agencies and private industry can work together to move important projects forward.

The conversations also focused on raising awareness with Californiaโ€™s next governor and making sure water remains part of the discussion as major decisions are made in the months ahead.

Thereโ€™s still work to do, but collaboration, education, and advocacy continue to move the conversation forward. Stay with us.

A few more moments from Anaheim with United Contractors.

These conversations are about more than projects and permits. Theyโ€™re about people getting involved, understanding the process, and helping shape the future of water infrastructure in California.

Charley spent time connecting with leaders, contractors, and advocates discussing how education, engagement, and collaboration help move important projects forward and support working families across the state.

Real progress happens when people stay informed, show up, and work together.

Today in Anaheim speaking to United Contractors at the Public Works Summit.

Charley had the opportunity to speak with more than 500 attendees about the future of water projects, what they mean for working families, and why involvement matters.

The conversation went beyond bids and construction. It focused on how people can engage in the decision-making process surrounding projects, legislation, and regulatory reform. Educating and advocating helps public officials make informed decisions, and strong participation is a critical part of moving important work forward.

Water infrastructure is about more than pipes and projects. Itโ€™s about people, jobs, reliability, and the future of California.
