Who controls California’s water? We'll revisit our conversation about the documentary “Water & Power: A California Heist.”
California’s five-year drought dried out over 1,000 wells and drained aquifers. As entire towns relied on bottled water to shower and cook, agriculture recorded record profits. The documentary airing on National Geographic, Sunday, June 25th asks, who is getting rich off of the state’s water? Join the conversation on the next Your Call at 10 am, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guest:
