Dr. Trina Running is a professor in the sociology, social work, and criminology department at Idaho State University. She looks at climate change and environmental justice from a social point of view - what does climate change mean for human society, and how do we help ourselves in this crisis? Continuing our conversation, Trina explains how Idaho allocates water, including the first in time first in right rule, the different between surface and ground water users, and how the state ensures senior water rights are filled.
