A recent feasibility study published in the journal Nature Sustainability found that covering 4,000 miles of California’s water canals with solar panels could save the state 63-billion gallons of water annually. Plus, the renewable power generated from the solar panels could help California reach its 2030 decarbonization goals.

How Solar Panels On California's Water Canals Could Help State Conserve

California is in a drought -- again. LAist’s new show How to LA explores what more Angelenos can do to preserve water. It won't be easy, but we meet up with one long-time resident who shows us how it's possible. Follow How to LA; the show aims to drop a little knowledge about ALL the things that affect the people of Los Angeles, whether that’s something that makes our city great (tacos!) or something that we need to work on, like the alarming number of traffic collisions. We serve the curious Angeleno who wants to better connect with our city, discover the new, navigate the confusing and even drive some change along the way.
