71-516: Camp Kohler was located in the northeast corner of unincorporated Sacramento County , California , United States, until it was destroyed by a fire in 1947. Initially a camp for migrant farm workers, it became the Sacramento Assembly Center a temporary detention center for interned Japanese Americans in 1942. The site is one of 12 California assembly centers that share designation as California Historical Landmark No. 934. From 1943 to 1945

142-399: A conflict between countries, states, or groups over the rights to access water resources . The United Nations recognizes that water disputes result from opposing interests of water users, public or private. A wide range of water conflicts appear throughout history, though they are rarely traditional wars waged over water alone. Instead, water has long been a source of tension and one of

213-411: A female householder with no husband present, and 34.4% were non-families. 26.7% of all households were made up of individuals, and 8.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.64 and the average family size was 3.24. In the county, 27.6% of the population was under the age of 18, 9.5% was from 18 to 24, 31.0% from 25 to 44, 20.9% from 45 to 64, and 11.1%

284-406: A fire burned many of the wood buildings remaining. After the war, returning Japanese Americans, prevented from owning their pre-war homes by discriminatory legislation and faced with a severe housing shortage, were often unable to find housing, and 234 families temporarily lived at Camp Kohler in late 1945. Today, the former Signal Corps camp site is part of a residential subdivision just outside

355-624: A major effect on water security as various levels. Geographic variability in water availability, reliability of rainfall and vulnerability to droughts, floods and cyclones are inherent hazards that affect development opportunities. These play out at international to intra-basin scales. At local scales, social vulnerability is a factor that increases the risks to water security, no matter the cause. For example, people affected by poverty may have less ability to cope with climate shocks. There are many factors that contribute to low water security. Some examples are: A major threat to water security

426-513: A majority in the county was George H. W. Bush in 1988 . In gubernatorial elections, Sacramento County is typically a bellwether, having voted for the winner every time since 1962 with the exception of 1970 and 2002. In the House of Representatives , all of California's 6th congressional district and portions of its 3rd , and 7th districts are in the county. In the State Assembly , all of

School districts include: K-12: Secondary: Elementary: Sacramento Regional Transit District , also known as Sacramento RT, provides public transit throughout the county. It operates bus services, as well as light rail services on the Blue , Green , and Gold lines. In addition,

568-467: A population to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of acceptable quality water for sustaining livelihoods, human well-being, and socio-economic development, for ensuring protection against water-borne pollution and water-related disasters , and for preserving ecosystems in a climate of peace and political stability." World Resources Institute also gave a similar definition in 2020. "For purposes of this report, we define water security as

639-425: A range of theories, models and technologies to understand the trade-offs that exist in responding to risk. Water conflict typically refers to violence or disputes associated with access to, or control of, water resources, or the use of water or water systems as weapons or casualties of conflicts. The term water war is colloquially used in media for some disputes over water, and often is more limited to describing

710-439: A well managed risk of water-related disasters". The World Water Council also uses this more specific approach with a focus on water supply. "Water security refers to the availability of water, in adequate quantity and quality, to sustain all these needs together (social and economic sectors, as well as the larger needs of the planet's ecosystems) – without exceeding its ability to renew." WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene)

781-437: Is water scarcity . About 27% of the world's population lived in areas affected by water scarcity in the mid-2010s. This number will likely increase to 42% by 2050. Water scarcity (closely related to water stress or water crisis) is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two types of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity . Physical water scarcity

852-578: Is a county located in the U.S. state of California . As of the 2020 census , the population was 1,585,055. Its county seat is Sacramento , which has been the state capital of California since 1854. Sacramento County is the central county of the Greater Sacramento metropolitan area. The county covers about 994 square miles (2,570 km ) in the northern portion of the Central Valley , on into Gold Country . Sacramento County extends from

923-522: Is a growing threat to societies. The main factors contributing to water insecurity are water scarcity , water pollution and low water quality due to climate change impacts. Others include poverty , destructive forces of water, and disasters that stem from natural hazards . Climate change affects water security in many ways. Changing rainfall patterns, including droughts, can have a big impact on water availability. Flooding can worsen water quality. Stronger storms can damage infrastructure, especially in

994-527: Is a nonprofit dedicated to understanding and managing water risk in China. The World Wildlife Fund has a Water Risk Filter that helps companies assess and respond to water risk with scenarios for 2030 and 2050. Understanding risk is part of water security policy. But it is also important to take social equity considerations more into account. There is no wholly accepted theory or mathematical model for determining or managing water risk. Instead, managers use

1065-481: Is a privately owned airport between North Highlands and Rio Linda. There are also privately owned public use airports located in Elk Grove and Rio Linda. The Sacramento County Department of Transportation (SACDOT) maintains approximately 2200 miles of roadway within the unincorporated area. The roads range from six lane thoroughfares to rural roads. In February 1851, the county was divided into eight civil townships :

1136-564: Is a statistical link between increased changes in rainfall patterns and lower per capita incomes. Relative levels of economic development and equality or inequality are strong determinants of community and household scale water security. Whilst the poverty and hydrology hypothesis suggests that there is a link between poverty and difficult hydrologies, there are many examples of "difficult hydrologies" that have not (yet) resulted in poverty and water insecurity. Social and economic inequalities are strong drivers of water insecurity, especially at

1207-877: Is a threat to water security. It can affect the supply of drinking water and indirectly contribute to water scarcity. Weather and its related shocks can affect water quality in several ways. These depend on the local climate and context. Shocks that are linked to weather include water shortages, heavy rain and temperature extremes. They can damage water infrastructure through erosion under heavy rainfall and floods, cause loss of water sources in droughts, and make water quality deteriorate. Climate change can reduce lower water quality in several ways: People in low-income countries are at greater risk of water insecurity and may also have less resources to mitigate it. This can result in human suffering, sustained poverty, constrained growth and social unrest. Food and water insecurity pose significant challenges for numerous individuals across

1278-487: Is about using water to increase economic and social welfare, move towards long-term sustainability or reduce risks tied to water. Decision makers and water managers must consider the linkages and trade-offs between the varied types of outcomes. Improving water security is a key factor to achieve growth, development that is sustainable and reduce poverty. Water security is also about social justice and fair distribution of environmental benefits and harms. Development that

1349-418: Is also growing competition for water. This reduces the availability of water resources in many areas in the world. Water security incorporates ideas and concepts to do with the sustainability , integration and adaptiveness of water resource management . In the past, experts used terms such as integrated water resources management (IWRM) or sustainable water management for this. Water risk refers to

1420-415: Is an important concept when in discussions of water security. Access to WASH services is one part of achieving water security. The relationship works both ways. To be sustainable, WASH services need to address water security issues. For example WASH relies on water resources that are part of the water cycle . But climate change has many impacts on the water cycle which can threaten water security. There

1491-598: Is becoming more aware of the potential impacts of water risk and the need for its proper management. By 2025, water risk will threaten $ 145 trillion in assets under management. To control water risk, companies can develop water risk management plans. Stakeholders within financial markets can use these plans to measure company environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. They can then identify leaders in water risk management. The World Resources Institute has developed an online water data platform named Aqueduct for risk assessment and water management. China Water Risk

1562-473: Is buried in the old Franklin Cemetery. According to the U.S. Census Bureau , the county has a total area of 994 square miles (2,570 km ), of which 965 square miles (2,500 km ) is land and 29 square miles (75 km ) (3.0%) is water. Most of the county is at an elevation close to sea level, with some areas below sea level. The highest point in the county is Carpenter Hill at 828 feet (252 m), in

1633-455: Is difficult to predict the effects of climate change on national and local levels. Water security will be affected by sea level rise in low lying coastal areas while populations dependent on snowmelt as their water source will be affected by the recession of glaciers and mountain snow. Future climate change must be viewed in context of other existing challenges for water security. Other challenges existing climate variability in areas closer to

1704-464: Is distributed throughout the year and perennial river flows sustained by groundwater base flows. For example, many of the world's industrialized nations have a hydrologic environment that they can manage quite easily. This has helped them achieve water security early in their development. A difficult to manage hydrologic environment is one with absolute water scarcity such as deserts or low-lying lands prone to severe flood risk. Regions where rainfall

1775-406: Is for a society to sustain its water security. These include the hydrologic environment, the socio-economic environment, and future changes due to the effects of climate change . Decision makers may assess water security risks at varied levels. These range from the household to community, city, basin, country and region. The opposite of water security is water insecurity . Water insecurity

1846-420: Is fraught with hazards largely faced by women and girls. There is strong evidence that improving access to water and sanitation is a good way of addressing such inequalities. Impacts of climate change that are tied to water, affect people's water security on a daily basis. They include more frequent and intense heavy precipitation which affects the frequency, size and timing of floods. Also droughts can alter

1917-423: Is not a coincidence. The poverty and hydrology hypothesis states that regions with a difficult hydrology remain poor because the respective governments have not been able to make the large investments necessary to achieve water security. Examples of such regions would be those with rainfall variability within one year and across several years. This leads to water insecurity which constrains economic growth. There

1988-589: Is one part of water security. Some organizations use the term water security more narrowly for water supply aspects only. Decision makers and water managers aim to reach water security goals that address multiple concerns. These outcomes can include increasing economic and social well-being while reducing risks tied to water. There are linkages and trade-offs between the different outcomes. Planners often consider water security effects for varied groups when they design climate change reduction strategies. Three main factors determine how difficult or easy it

2059-408: Is sustainable can help reduce poverty and increase living standards. This is most likely to benefit those affected by the impacts of insecure water resources in the region, especially women and children. Water security is important for attaining most of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is because access to adequate and safe water is a precondition for meeting many of

2130-525: Is to make the most of water's benefits for humans and ecosystems. The second aim is to limit the risks of destructive impacts of water to an acceptable level. These risks include for example too much water (flood), too little water (drought and water scarcity ) or poor quality ( polluted ) water. People who live with a high level of water security always have access to "an acceptable quantity and quality of water for health, livelihoods and production". For example, access to water, sanitation and hygiene services

2201-459: Is very variable from one season to the next, or regions where rainfall varies a lot from one year to the next are also likely to face water security challenges. The term for this is high inter-annual climate variability. An example would be East Africa, where there have been prolonged droughts every two to three years since 1999. Most of the world's developing countries have challenges in managing hydrologies and have not achieved water security. This

2272-632: Is where there is not enough water to meet all demands. This includes water needed for ecosystems to function. Regions with a desert climate often face physical water scarcity. Central Asia , West Asia , and North Africa are examples of arid areas. Economic water scarcity results from a lack of investment in infrastructure or technology to draw water from rivers, aquifers , or other water sources. It also results from weak human capacity to meet water demand. Many people in Sub-Saharan Africa are living with economic water scarcity. Water pollution

2343-613: The 7th and 8th districts and parts of the 6th , 9th , and 11th districts are in the county. In the State Senate , parts of the 1st , 3rd , 4th , 6th , and 8th districts are in the county. According to the California Secretary of State , as of October 22, 2012, Sacramento County has 698,899 registered voters, out of 944,243 eligible (74%).

Candidates from the Democratic Party have carried the county in the past eight presidential elections, and have won a majority of the county's votes four times during that time (in 2008 , 2012 , 2016 , and 2020 ). The city of Sacramento is strongly Democratic, while rural areas are strongly Republican ; suburban areas are more divided. This pattern is also present in congressional and state legislative elections. The last Republican presidential candidate to win

2627-563: The Global South . There are different ways to deal with water insecurity. Science and engineering approaches can increase the water supply or make water use more efficient. Financial and economic tools can include a safety net to ensure access for poorer people. Management tools such as demand caps can improve water security. They work on strengthening institutions and information flows. They may also improve water quality management, and increase investment in water infrastructure . Improving

2698-623: The Sacramento County Superior Court . Under its foundational Charter, the five-member elected Sacramento County Board of Supervisors (BOS) is the county legislature. The board operates in a legislative, executive, and quasi-judicial capacity. The current members are: The Sacramento County Code is the codified law of Sacramento County in the form of local ordinances passed by the Board of Supervisors. The Sacramento County Sheriff provides court protection and jail management for

2769-566: The Yolobus provides Sacramento County with service connecting to destinations in neighboring Yolo County , such as Davis . SaRT and Yolobus both provide bus services connecting Sacramento with Sacramento International Airport . Amtrak and its Amtrak California subsidiary operate passenger rail service from the Sacramento Valley station . This station is served by the Coast Starlight ,

2840-737: The climate resilience of water and hygiene services is important. These efforts help to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development . There is no single method to measure water security. Metrics of water security roughly fall into two groups. This includes those that are based on experiences versus metrics that are based on resources. The former mainly focus on measuring the water experiences of households and human well-being. The latter tend to focus on freshwater stores or water resources security . The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report found that increasing weather and climate extreme events have exposed millions of people to acute food insecurity and reduced water security. Scientists have observed

2911-489: The "absolute level of water resource availability". But it also refers to how much it varies in time and location. I nter-annual means from one year to the next, I ntra-annual means from one season to the next. It is possible to refer to location as spatial distribution . Scholars distinguish between a hydrologic environment that is easy to manage and one that is difficult. An easy to manage hydrologic environment would be one with low rainfall variability. In this case rain

Also known as the Walerga Assembly Center , it was one of the smaller WCCA camps and operated for 52 days, from May 6 to June 26, 1942. Upon closure of the assembly center, the site was turned over to

3053-410: The United States. Strategies employed by households in response to these pressing issues encompass labor intensive methods, such as melting ice, earning wages, and occasionally incurring debt, all aimed at water conservation. Additionally, families may turn to foraging for water-based plants and animals, seeking alternative sources of sustenance. Adjusting consumption patterns becomes imperative, involving

3124-568: The absence of water scarcity . It differs from the concepts of food security and energy security . Whereas those concepts cover reliable access to food or energy, water security covers not only the absence of water but also its presence when there is too much of it. One definition of water security is "the reliable availability of an acceptable quantity and quality of water for health, livelihoods and production, coupled with an acceptable level of water-related risks ". A similar definition of water security by UN-Water is: "the capacity of

3195-613: The camp was a training center for US World War II forces. Camp Kohler had many uses throughout its existence. It began as a migrant farm worker camp and was later used to house over 4,700 Japanese Americans who had been removed from the West Coast during World War II . One of 15 temporary detention sites known as "assembly centers" and run by the Wartime Civilian Control Administration, the Sacramento site, called

3266-459: The capacity of a population to Some organizations use water security in a more specific sense to refer to water supply only. They do not consider the water-related risks of too much water . For example, the definition of WaterAid in 2012 focuses on water supply issues. They defined water security as "reliable access to water of sufficient quantity and quality for basic human needs, small-scale livelihoods and local ecosystem services, coupled with

3337-457: The causes for conflicts. Water conflicts arise for several reasons, including territorial disputes, a fight for resources, and strategic advantage. There are three groups of water security outcomes. These include economic, environmental and equity (or social) outcomes. Outcomes are things that happen or people would want to see happen as a result of policy and management: There are four major focus areas for water security and its outcomes. It

3408-495: The census of 2000, there were 1,223,499 people, 453,602 households, and 297,562 families residing in the county. The population density was 1,267 inhabitants per square mile (489/km ). There were 474,814 housing units at an average density of 492 per square mile (190/km ). The racial makeup of the county was 64.0% White , 10.6% Black or African American , 1.09% Native American , 13.5% Asian , 0.6% Pacific Islander , 7.5% from other races , and 5.8% from two or more races. 19.3% of

3479-462: The challenging decision of abandoning specific family members. This is achieved through withholding resources from non-family members, prioritizing the health of some family members over others, and, in extreme cases, leaving individuals behind. As the climate changes, the impact of food and water insecurity is disproportionately felt, necessitating a re-evaluation of societal misconceptions about those making survival sacrifices. Larger entities, including

3550-590: The city of Sacramento and Folsom provide additional, often non-essential services. It is composed of the elected five-member Board of Supervisors , several other elected offices including the Sheriff , District Attorney , and Assessor , and numerous county departments and entities under the supervision of the County Executive Officer. In addition, several entities of the government of California have jurisdiction conterminous with Sacramento County, such as

3692-412: The community and household scales. Gender, race and caste inequalities have all been linked to differential access to water services such as drinking water and sanitation. In particular women and girls frequently have less access to economic and social opportunities as a directly consequence of being primarily responsible for meeting household water needs. The entire journey from water source to point of use

3763-790: The county include the Sacramento County Park Rangers that service the County Parks, Twin Rivers Unified School District Police servicing police services for Twin Rivers School District, and the Fulton-El Camino Park District Police Department servicing Recreation and Park Districts. Sacramento County was politically competitive in most presidential elections between 1976 and 2004, but now votes significantly in favor of

Incorporated municipalities within the county that have their own municipal police departments or contract with the Sacramento County sheriff for their policing are: Elk Grove, 170,000, municipal department; Citrus Heights, 88,000, municipal department; Folsom, 78,000, municipal department; Isleton, sheriff contract; Rancho Cordova, 73,000, sheriff contract; Galt, population 26,000, municipal department. Other law enforcement agencies in

3905-433: The equator, population growth and increased demand for water resources. Others include political challenges, increased disaster exposure due to settlement in hazard-prone areas, and environmental degradation. Water demand for irrigation in agriculture will increase due to climate change. This is because evaporation rates and the rate of water loss from crops will be higher due to rising temperatures. Climate factors have

3976-402: The food and beverage sector, agriculture, oil and gas and utilities. Agriculture uses 69% of total freshwater in the world. So this industry is very vulnerable to water stress. Risk is a combination of hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Examples of hazards are droughts, floods and decline in quality. Bad infrastructure and bad governance lead to high exposure to risk. The financial sector

4047-599: The government and various organizations, extend assistance based on available resources, highlighting the importance of addressing information gaps in specific data. Water can cause large-scale destruction due to its huge power. This destruction can result from sudden events. Examples are tsunamis , floods or landslides . Events that happen slowly over time such as erosion , desertification or water pollution can also cause destruction. Other threats to water security include: There are different ways to tackle water insecurity. Science and engineering approaches can increase

4118-437: The individual goals. It is also important for attaining development that is resilient to climate change. Planners take note of water security outcomes for various groups in society when they design strategies for climate change adaptation. Three main factors determine the ability of a society to sustain water security: The hydrologic environment is important for water security. The term hydrologic environment refers to

Much of the Government of California is in practice the responsibility of county governments such as the Government of Sacramento County, while municipalities such as

4473-616: The possibility of problems to do with water. Examples are water scarcity, water stress, flooding, infrastructure decay and drought. There exists an inverse relationship between water risk and water security. This means as water risk increases, water security decreases. Water risk is complex and multilayered. It includes risks flooding and drought. These can lead to infrastructure failure and worsen hunger. When these disasters take place, they result in water scarcity or other problems. The potential economic effects of water risk are important to note. Water risks threaten entire industries. Examples are

4544-560: The rationing of servings and prioritizing nutritional value, particularly for vulnerable members like small children. The phenomenon of substituting more expensive, nutritious food with cheaper alternatives is also observed. Furthermore, individuals may consume from sources considered "stigmatized" by society, such as urine or unfiltered water. Migration emerges as a viable option, with families fostering children to relatives outside famine zones and engaging in seasonal or permanent resettlement. In certain instances, resource preservation involves

Faster melting of glaciers can also occur. Global climate change will probably make it more complex and expensive to ensure water security. It creates new threats and adaptation challenges . This is because climate change leads to increased hydrological variability and extremes. Climate change has many impacts on

4828-468: The water cycle . These result in higher climatic and hydrological variability, which can threaten water security. Changes in the water cycle threaten existing and future water infrastructure. It will be harder to plan investments for future water infrastructure as there are so many uncertainties about future variability for the water cycle. This makes societies more exposed to risks of extreme events linked to water and therefore reduces water security. It
