This episode of Idaho Matters originally aired on April 17, 2023.

All across the southwest, there’s a problem. There’s not enough water to go around and the water that does arrive often falls far away from where people live, leading to tense conversations about how and where it should be used.

A new project is trying to bridge the gap, starting with the youngest water users. KUNC’s Alex Hager reports for the Mountain West News Bureau.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
