In the April episode of Talking Under Water, co-hosts Lauren Baltas and Bob Crossen welcome new co-host Lauren Estes. They discuss water scarcity issues related to their "Day Zero" coverage, including coastal flooding across the U.S. and the effects of PFAS on the environment. Crossen also discusses his experience at Water Week in Washington and the different hot topics covered at the event. Finally, the hosts interview Mark Piesik, director of of sales for water and public power for Itron, and pick his brain on how leak detection and non-revenue water relate to the overarching conversation on water scarcity in the industry.
