Working with the administration at City of Ripon, I created a local water conservation program and implemented across the city. I did this largely by analyzing the most recent water usage data and learning from neighboring city successes in the field to also prevent water shortages at home in Ripon. We also provided free water surveys to City of Ripon residents and created community outreach programs to inform the public of the ways to conserve water.
