In today's episode we speak with Dr. Ellen Bruno from UC Berkeley all about the economics of groundwater. Groundwater is water located in aquifers deep beneath the earths surface. We regulate the amount of water people can take from surface waters (lakes, rivers, etc) but underground it's a different story. Tune in to learn how economists like Ellen are working to add some ground rules to make sure we manage this resource sustainably.

  • Public Policy Institute of California - Water Policy Centre - for great blogs and reports concerning California water
  • Maven's Notebook - Keeping an eye on all things California water
