Show Notes

It’s beginning to look as though California is headed into another multi-year drought. The snowpack is meager and contracted water supplies through the state’s delivery systems are likely to be much less than requested.  Farmers and cities are looking to groundwater to make up the difference, but even groundwater is heavily depleted.  Hear Dr. Ruth Langridge, UCSC Researcher and instructor in Legal Studies, who has studied California groundwater and climate change since 2009, the current state of underground resources and ways to conserve and restore groundwater. You can find information about her work here.
