Andy Lipkis is the founder and president of TreePeople. His vision for Southern California is to capture more rainfall and reduce Southern California's dependence on imported water. One of his suggestions is for local government to subsidize cisterns either at individuals' homes or for neighborhoods to share. A similar program in Australia has been very successful.
