Western Drought & Water Rights

Guest: Eric Kuhn

Introduction:

Exceptional drought conditions across the West have continued to worsen over the years. In fact, the past year has been the driest or second driest in most Southwestern states since record-keeping began in 1895. The worsening drought and warming western climate has led to record low levels in the Colorado River, the main source of water for much of the Southwest. Because the water is shared and the supply is dwindling, it’s important to bring up water rights. Today we’ll explore the impacts of the drought on the Colorado River and water rights with Eric Kuhn.
