Starting on January 7, local PBS affiliate KCET will air a full week of Huell Howser’s award-winning series, “California’s Water.”In each “California’s Water” segment, Huell Howser visits features of California’s water system and gets a first-hand look at various water management tools and challenges facing the state’s water future. Known for his enthusiasm and his down-to-earth style, Howser makes this important subject approachable for everyone.The series, underwritten by members of the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), covers issues identified in ACWA’s comprehensive policy document, “No Time to Waste: A Blueprint for California Water.” The document, released in 2005, recommends a suite of actions and investments to ensure California has the water supply system it will need in future decades.The first segment will air at 7 p.m. on Sunday, January 7, and then on Monday, January 8 through Friday, January 12 segments will begin at 6 p.m. Segments will also be featured on Thursday, January 11 from 8 to 9:30 p.m., and will conclude with a final slot on Sunday, January 14.
“From the very beginning, water has been a critical, colorful, and controversial part of life in our state,” said Howser. “And obviously, we all know how important water is. But I guarantee you that most of us have absolutely no idea where our water comes from or how it gets to us. The series sets out to answer these questions.”ACWA’s members, including the United Water Conservation District, believe educating the public on water issues is critical and are taking that commitment seriously by underwriting the California’s Water series.
