There have been many discussions about Sites Reservoir and its potential to help us store more water for when it\u2019s needed most. We break down the project, how it works as part of California\u2019s water network and why it\u2019s such a vital project. Two of the show guests are from Northern California. Jerry Brown is the executive director of the Sites Project Authority, the organization tasked with building Sites Reservoir. From the beautiful Sacramento Valley, we have Frederick \u201cFritz\u201d Durst who is the Board Chair of Sites Project Authority and the Reclamation District 108 board president. Representing Southern California, we have Heather Dyer who is the general manager of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and a returning guest to our show. And we\u2019re also delighted to have Adel Hagekhalil back with our show. He is the general manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the nation\u2019s largest water wholesaler that serves 19 million people. These four bring passion, enthusiasm and ingenuity to tackle the genuine and pressing issue of climate change impacts on California\u2019s water supply.
