Quick take: Panel to discuss how saving water can also save energy

A panel of experts assembled by the Sustainability Alliance of Southern California will discuss the issue at 6 p.m. March 16, at the California Center for Sustainable Energy, 8690 Balboa Ave., San Diego. More information at tinyurl.com/sdwater-power.
