As 2026 begins, individuals, organizations, and industries are redefining what sustainability truly means. One of the most impactful commitments to make this year is a Clean Water Pledge, a pledge that goes beyond drinking water to protect all forms of clean water, including stormwater, wastewater, groundwater, irrigation systems, industrial water, and natural waterways.

Every storm sets off a chain reaction called stormwater runoff, a process that quietly damages ecosystems, worsens floods, and wastes an essential resource.

Stormwater infrastructure is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of urban planning and environmental management.

San Diego, City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera is taking a proactive stance to address the pressing issue of stormwater management.
