Water systems are vulnerable to melting plastic components, toxic contamination and failures that can leave firefighters without flowing water.

Two fire researchers argue that recent fires in Northern and Southern California show why health and social equity need to be part of fire preparedness.
The dry, hot, downslope Santa Ana winds of Southern California fan late fall wildfires that have largely traveled through – and are fueled by – homes and other structures.
There are well-understood ways to minimize the risk of fire spreading through housing – if only developers, homeowners and officials took heed.
A scientist dips her toe into a new form of group-based performance art: devising new words to describe new feelings and phenomena of a rapidly changing world.
Scientists need to be comfortable dealing with subjective views, rather than empirical data, and people’s feelings to make progress in addressing climate change.
El Niño is expected to bring heavy rains to drought-stricken California, but more rain alone won’t solve the West’s water crisis.
California is blessed with so much agricultural land that no matter how much the state conserves or produces, there will also be an economic incentive to consume more water.
