Join us for this daylong excursion and:

Experience an unrivaled learning opportunity.

Explore the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant.

Learn the realities of water resource management.

Discover how sustainability and utility resilience intersect.

Engage with the complexities of solving our greatest challenges.

Be inspired by the elected leaders that brought desalination to Santa Barbara.

Our community’s rural nature places us in a vulnerable position in the face of major disruptions to utility services like drought, blackouts or natural disasters. We must consider ways to strengthen water and power infrastructure as part of our sustainability efforts.

With desalination as the primary backdrop to our conversation, this Insight Studio tour to Santa Barbara will convene stakeholders across sectors to learn from our neighbors as they work to improve their utility independence.
