Episode description

First, an update about self-driving cars in the news! Now WATER: Did you realize that Lake Mead is at historic lows, bringing the area to their knees with water conservation and concern for fresh water. What are we to do? Why can't we solve for this? Let's take a look at model situation that challenges the US to get serious about using technology to solve our water problems. Israel, a known desert with few water resources, have gone from decades of freshwater scarcity to a 20% abundance. Using technology, this desert country is now reclaiming 86% of used water and sending it to agriculture. This is higher than any other country in water recycling. Reclamation, with desalinization, can definitely solve this country's water scarcity problems.
