On the May 4th edition of Your Call, we’ll kick off a weeklong series on California’s water crisis by discussing the forces that are controlling access to water in California. The state’s persistent drought has resulted in the first-ever statewide water restrictions, so how is the allocation of water determined? And who controls the flow? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.
Guests:
Conner Everts, co-facilitator of the Environmental Water Caucus
