Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on August 31, 2007 at 9:24 am

NPR has an excellent series of radio shows and information on Southwest water issues available over the internet. The series aired in June of this year, and discusses Las Vegas and its rural pipeline projects (crops vs. craps), as well as the drought’s toll on Lake Powell and the Southwest. There are also stories on how drought is affecting Tennessee and Florida. The drought in the Southeastern US is even worse and has been categorized as “exceptional” - the most extreme category.

Each segment is between three to seven minutes long - recommended listening for your holiday weekend. Click here to go to NPR website.
