episode description
As world population increases, the struggle over one of the earth’s most valuable resources continues to intensify. Is the world in danger of running out of water? Join us as we take a special half-hour look at water in California, the world’s 8th largest economy. Where does it come from? Where does it go? California's population is growing by 600,000 people a year, but much of the state receives as much annual rainfall as Morocco. With fish populations crashing, global warming, and the demands of the one of the largest agricultural industry in the world, the pressures on California’s water supply are increasing. What can the state of water in one of the world’s largest economies tell us about the future of our planet?
