los-angeles-aerial-bor.jpgFrom KNX Radio, a series of three segments on Los Angeles water issues. From the website:

The future looks dry and expensive. KNX 1070′s Michael Linder has three investigative reports on LA’s worsening water crisis.

Part One: Lake Mead Drying Up

Michael reports from the Hoover Dam where Lake Mead stands half empty. One expert is saying that there is a 50/50 chance that the lake might go dry in the next 13 to 15 years.

Part Two: LA Under Pressure

Experts say that L.A. cannot afford to take it easy. The city needs to make substantial investments in its water infrastructure to survive in a drier environment.

Part Three: A Dry Future

The growth of the America West happened during one of the region’s wettest centuries on record. Los Angeles, and the entire state, will have to find a way to satisfy the needs of millions of people in an environment that is almost sure to be drier than what we are use to.
