Message from the Interim Director of Extension
This may be an old concept to many of you, but I listened to a leadership development book and was reminded of the P and the PC balance. The P is Production, and the PC is Production Capability. In Extension, the P (Production) is our impact: Healthier populations due to increased nutrition education; decreased water use due to implementation of water conservation; civic youth engagement, dissemination of information, grants, positive impacts on communities and industry, etc. Our PC, Production Capacity, is you – our staff and faculty. Without the PC, you cannot have the P. Also, if all you do is concentrate on the P, your PC will flounder and result in less P. Thus, that’s where the balance is. We need to take care of ourselves, each other, in counties, departments, and centers across the state (the PC) to ensure effective and efficient P, Production. As we move forward, keep both the PC and the P in mind, knowing both are essential to having an impactful Extension system.

| WRRC Brown Bag Webinar
This presentation offers a critical reassessment of the emblematic water conflict over the Los Angeles Aqueduct, one of the first large inter-basin water transfers in the American West. Based on three years of in-depth archival, ethnographic, and collaborative research, it examines how public, private, and tribal interests have been weighed in decision-making about this water transfer over the course of more than a century of social, regulatory, and environmental change. In particular, it addresses gaps in previous histories of the Los Angeles Aqueduct by detailing the consequences it had for Indigenous land and water rights and demonstrating how that history continues to shape water conflicts in the region to this day.
