Water doesn’t care who you voted for—and without it, nothing else matters.I’ve spent much of my life around the Colorado River: rafting, fishing, boating, water skiing and watching the Hoover Dam spillways run in 1983. Today, Lake Mead and Lake Powell are shadows of what they once were.In this episode, I look at where America’s freshwater has gone, what drought, heat, agriculture and population growth are doing to our supply—and whether pipelines, desalination, conservation and a little common sense could help solve the problem before the taps run dry.
