By combining forces between our student community members and those of us who call Berkeley and the East Bay home, we can take responsibility and make an impact. Together, the daunting task of overcoming extreme, regular droughts becomes more attainable.

Melting Arctic sea ice could potentially lead to reduced rainfall in California and exacerbate the possibility and effects of severe drought, a new study found.

The East Bay Municipal Utility District recently reported a decrease in trihalomethane — a disinfection byproduct that forms after chlorine reacts with organic material in the water and has been linked to cancer — in its drinking water after new operational adjustments
