DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Increasing drought\, extreme floods\, and environment
 al degradation are taxing California’s water system. Water shortages are
  borne inequitably and decisions over how water is allocated are constrain
 ed by poor water accounting\, entrenched power imbalances\, and limited pu
 blic engagement. Building a resilient water future requires new water plan
 ning tools that advance sustainable\, inclusive\, and equitable water stew
 ardship. To meet this need\, we launched COEQWAL (COllaboratory for EQuity
  in Water Allocations)\, in which academic research teams are partnering w
 ith agencies and diverse publics to co-create scenarios representing combi
 nations of water policy\, infrastructural\, and operational changes under 
 future climates. Goals of the project are to increase understanding\, dive
 rsify participation\, and enhance engagement in water allocation decision-
 making. Water futures are being evaluated using a systems planning model\,
  CalSim3\, and will be hosted on a public data platform\, where users can 
 access\, screen\, and investigate scenario outcomes and tradeoffs through 
 data visualizations and storytelling methods. This talk will highlight res
 earch findings and approaches that seek to engage diverse publics\, enhanc
 e water literacy\, and promote participatory water resilience planning.Bio

 he Department of Environmental Science\, Policy\, and Management at UC Ber
 keley. He studies the ecological and physical dynamics of river ecosystems
  and works to translates scientific knowledge into sustainable solutions f
 or managing water and the environment in a changing climate. Ted is an Adj
