"Parched: The Water Crisis"
Water scarcity is becoming more and more of a problem due to overpopulation, climate change, greed, and bad management. So, today we’re investigating why the water crisis is happening, who it’s affecting the most, and what it means for humanity.
In this episode of NOMADIKATE, we're exploring how poverty and water access are interconnected, how women and girls bear the greatest burden in the quest for water, and how peace-particularly in Yemen, depends on sufficient water availability and distribution. We're also going to investigate how some greedy, large corporations and entities, such as Coca-Cola and the Imperial Irrigation District of Southern California, are hogging water from communities that are in desperate need of it. Then, we'll take a look at one promising, and one not-so-promising, innovation to help ease the crisis.

By Katie DevilleWater scarcity is becoming more and more of a problem due to overpopulation, climate change, greed, and bad management. So, today we’re investigating why the water crisis is happening, who it’s affecting the most, and what it means for humanity.
In this episode of NOMADIKATE, we're exploring how poverty and water access are interconnected, how women and girls bear the greatest burden in the quest for water, and how peace-particularly in Yemen, depends on sufficient water availability and distribution. We're also going to investigate how some greedy, large corporations and entities, such as Coca-Cola and the Imperial Irrigation District of Southern California, are hogging water from communities that are in desperate need of it.
