Southern California is home for 19 million people and imports the majority of its municipal water from the Colorado and Sacramento Rivers, moving that water hundreds of miles through humanmade aqueducts. Both rivers have decreased flows meaning less water for So Cal. This episode looks at how So Cal gained water, how they are changing their water profile, and how rivers may continue to be impacted by their extractions.
