Project Overview

California is facing a water crisis. The state has one of the most engineered and over-subscribed water systems in the world, meaning significantly more water is promised to users than is actually available. And climate change is making the swings between drought and deluge more severe and unpredictable. Communities, agriculture, and businesses are suffering from the stateÕs broken water system and unpredictable water supply, as are freshwater plants and animals. More than …

California is facing a water crisis. The state has one of the most engineered and over-subscribed water systems in the world, meaning significantly more water is promised to users than is actually available. And climate change is making the swings between drought and deluge more severe and unpredictable. Communities, agriculture, and businesses are suffering from the stateÕs broken water system and unpredictable water supply, as are freshwater plants and animals. More than half of our freshwater species and 90% of our endemic species are at risk of extinction. One of the keys to increasing the resilience of our water supply is groundwater. Groundwater provides 38% of the stateÕs water in normal years, and up to 60% in times of drought. ItÕs essential to supplying water to nature and people, as well as growing the food we eat. Oversight and management of this hidden resource has historically been limited, but on 2014, California passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) which regulates groundwater at scale for the first time, requiring the stateÕs largest source of stored water to be managed for long-term resilience. SGMA delegates the responsibility of achieving sustainable groundwater management by 2042 to local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). Balancing groundwater basins to achieve sustainability will require increasing water supply to the basin and/or decreasing water demand. .

Project Narrative

WHERE DO YOU HAVE WATER REPLENISHMENT PROGRAMMES? Together with TCCC, we continue to replenish the water we use in areas of water stress in partnership with local NGOs and community groups. We have set up several replenishment programmes across our territories in recent years, including in Belgium, France, Germany, GB, Spain and Portugal. In 2020, together with TCCC, we managed 15 community based water replenishment projects in Western Europe. As a result, we were able to replenish 275% of the water we sourced to make our drinks in areas affected by water stress. In 2020, the definition of areas of water stress used for our water replenishment calculations was based upon 19 of 46 production facilities. This definition will be updated in line with our updated global enterprise water risk assessment for our 2021 reporting cycle. We used 5.69 million m_ of water in our production volume in these 19 sites. This represents 48.54% of CCEPÕs total production volumes.
