It's a crazy time to work in water policy in California. In a state where water scarcity is the new normal, but not every year is a severe drought, how much water should we be saving?

To find out, scientists have enlisted an army of volunteer scat hunters to scour the city for coyote poop. What they've found so far is surprising.

But the heat hit some parts of the state harder than others. Inland Southern California was abnormally warm.

Drought and population growth are pushing Californians to be more open-minded about water. A new report identifies treated sewage as a future source of water.

While state officials seem unfazed by the increase, others worry it means Californians aren’t taking the drought as seriously as before.

The program from the South Coast Air Quality Management District already has a 1,500-person waiting list, but $14 million of state cap and trade funds should help.

A senate bill would have added representatives of low-income and minority communities to the mostly white, industry-friendly board of the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

The big cats are trapped by freeways. That means they're at risk of becoming locally extinct due to inbreeding, according to a new study.

A year after LADWP dumped shade balls into the L.A. Reservoir and broke the internet, the little round balls are disappearing from the water.

The most expensive wildfires aren't necessarily the largest ones. It all depends on how many homes dot the fire-prone wilderness.

In Southern California, nine in 10 water agencies have scrapped mandatory cuts but many still tout voluntary conservation. Some see mixed message in fifth year of drought.

A new EPA water standard means five SoCal water agencies have high levels of a hazardous chemical in their groundwater. Here's what they're doing about it.
