Become a Water Advocate
Protecting water in LA County starts with each of us. Whether you’re conserving water at home, taking steps to reduce pollution or supporting local cleanup efforts, every action contributes to a healthier, more resilient water future. Becoming a Water Advocate means taking meaningful steps to safeguard our shared water resources — for our communities, our wildlife and the ecosystems that sustain us. Explore the many ways you can get involved and make a lasting impact.
Water Conservation
With limited water supplies and a changing climate, conserving water is more important than ever. It takes a lot of water to keep LA County going, and each of us can do our part by adopting water-smart habits. Learn about everyday actions and improvements you can make inside and out to reduce your water usage.
Pollution Prevention
We can make small decisions that go a long way to protect the health of our rivers, beaches and the ocean. These mindful choices can prevent pollution before it reaches our water and help ensure safe waterways for all. Learn more about how you can help prevent pollution.
