Episode Description:
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana explore how Los Angeles—long seen as a symbol of unsustainable sprawl—has quietly become one of the most water-conscious cities in the U.S. Drawing from a recent New York Times article, they trace how decades of drought transformed L.A.’s approach to water, shifting from massive diversion projects to smarter, more sustainable strategies. From drought-tolerant landscaping incentives to public awareness campaigns and improved plumbing, the city has managed to use less water even as its population grew. Jordan and Lana ask: Could L.A. become a model for other cities facing water stress?
