Coalition
The Smarter Water LA coalition believes cost-effective and environmentally beneficial local water supply options should take precedence over ocean desalination. Our core group consists of Los Angeles Waterkeeper, Heal the Bay, Surfrider Foundation and the Desal Response Group.
Endorsers
The following environmental, environmental justice and public health organizations, local businesses, and individuals believe that ocean desalination should be pursued only after cities and water agencies fully implement a Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Restore approach to enhance local water supplies.
