Desert Energy Development Eagle Crest Energy is developing a 1,300-megawatt pumped storage hydroelectric project in southern California, south of Joshua Tree National Park. Sited at a decommissioned iron mine, the facility’s tiered reservoirs will help integrate nearby wind and solar power into the electrical grid. Water to fill the reservoirs will come from groundwater conveyed […]
In a desperate attempt to make it easier to solve California’s complex and contentious water problems, a dangerous new idea has recently been floated — intentionally letting some species go extinct rather than take the difficult steps needed to save them and their ecosystems.

Collaborate on resolving confrontation between rising energy demand and water scarcity in both countries.
In January we wrote on mobile phones and water mapping technology: Among the most popular and effective new tools are mobile phones and mapping technologies that rely on rising access to wireless Internet connections and cloud computing to facilitate the flow of information… By deploying this and other new technologies–including data monitoring and water quality […]
Organizations are creating tech tools to shine light on water supply operations—and improve service.
The massive rains over the past month are both a blessing and a curse for California.
For years, the state took as much water as it could from Lake Mead; now it plans to leave some in the reservoir.
