California Water: A Status Report from Jenn Bowles

Episode Summary

We are joined today by Jenn Bowles of the Water Education Foundation, or WEF. WEF was founded in 1977, in the midst of a deep drought, to facilitate a better understanding of water resource issues in California and the West, and to give context to the challenges facing California's most precious natural resource. Now, nearly five decades later, we are just emerging from the latest drought period thanks to 2023's historic rain season. The Water Education Foundation's Annual Water Summit will be held this week in Sacramento. Jenn gives us a preview of the topics they'll be looking at and an update on the status of California's water supply. Plus: groundwater management, the Delta Tunnel project, and of course, Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics.
