In addition, over 40 public access and local government channels are running <br />the TV spots and the informational video. <br /> <br />Partner with ACWA <br /> <br />Cities interested in partnering in the ACWA program should contact Statewide Outreach Director <br />Scott Adams at (818) 760-2121 or ?cott@calw9.!~[~risis.ol9.. <br /> <br />New TV Spots Launched This Week <br /> <br />ACWA's program, titled "California's Water: A Crisis We Can't Ignore," launched two new TV <br />spots this week. These are the third and fourth spots in the series. The two new 3D-second <br />spots are airing across the state in California's major media markets and are designed to educate <br />viewers about the state's water crisis. <br /> <br />In the spot titled "Family Farmer," Jim Beecher, a family farmer from the Central Valley, discusses <br />how the water crisis impacts agriculture in the state and why the delta needs to be fixed. "Half <br />Empty," the fourth TV spot in the program's series, focuses on the contributing factors to the <br />water crisis. <br /> <br />Program Information Brochures <br /> <br />ACWA has produced an information campaign that can be distributed to people at meetings, <br />events and conferences.
