Chandra Alexandre is the CEO of CAM with over 20 years of experience supporting organizations to social justice outcomes.

Chandra's commitment to equity serves her well at Community Action Marin, where board and staff are standing with low-income families and individuals struggling to find opportunity and fulfill their dreams in challenging times. Her vision is to help propel local efforts to eradicate disparities forward while promoting self-sufficiency for all in a county that has the largest inequities between racial groups in California. Doing this will require a healing-centered approach that brings awareness of community trauma to the fore.

Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge
Jan. 24, 2023 8:00 a.m.
Climate change is exacerbating floods and droughts, but our development choices -- urban sprawl, industrial agriculture, and concrete infrastructure designed to control water -- are making these problems much worse. People in the Slow Water movement are instead collaborating with water, making space for it again, such as by using underground paleo valleys to recharge dwindling groundwater in California. Erica Geis is the author of "Water Always Wins: Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge." An award-winning, independent journalist and National Geographic Explorer, she covers water, climate change, plants and critters for Scientific American, Nature, New York Times, bioGraphic, National Geographic and other outlets. |

Flooding & Opportunities for Sustainable Water Management
Feb. 28, 2023 8:00 a.m.
It is well known that California could eliminate or drastically reduce its water deficit by diverting and storing the water from the upper 10% of high-magnitude river flows (for example, floods). Where could this water be stored? Answer: in groundwater systems, which have been sufficiently depleted in California that they could store additional water amounting to more than 3-times the storage capacity of the state’s surface reservoirs. This would require significant effort to recharge the groundwater systems with diverted floodwaters, which is known as “Flood-MAR” (managed aquifer recharge). I will discuss Flood-MAR and how California might use it to help solve its water supply problems as the climate continues to warm. Professor Emeritus of Hydrogeology, UC Davis, Dept. of Land, Air and Water Resources and Dept. of Earth and Planetary Sciences. I have spent the last 45 years researching and teaching about groundwater hydrology, including groundwater flow, contamination, computer modeling, and water resources management under climate change. |
