July 21, 2026Episode 0179: Water
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Nevada, certainly Southern Nevada, leads the way on water sustainability research and implementation, with much of the share of water allotted from Lake Mead recycled and returned, which helps a lot with the math. There are ways we can contribute to the looming challenge brought on by the lack of snow pack, though, let’s talk about it.

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: A few years ago we had decided that proactive recruitment of civic volunteers didn’t really make much sense, that the drive to participate really needs to come from within; however, if that drive is present, our organization needs to be discoverable, and in Vegas this is tricky business. Business we are already pursuing, of course.
