Only in Califorification could host a Symposium by the very cause of the localized water shortages. Start with the truth and then move forward. Calculating the available fresh water on the planet we find there is 23,000 gallons per day for every person on earth per day for 76 years. So the scarcity is a scare tactic. Next is how to reverse the localized man engineered drought conditions. Since the application of chemicals to the soil are the #1 cause of disrupting hydrological cycle stop ALL chemicals. to encourage water to return to its natural cycle you must copy nature to get the same results. This would be recycling of organic matter which activates the growth of microbes which hold the water just like you and I. Plants respire, humid conditions grow, humidity becomes rain, soils cool accelerating this process, crop yields and quality expand rapidly.
The only challenge we have is stopping all chemical use and getting people to properly dispose of their waste, make and use their own compost. Nature will do the rest.
