Your Call 102907 Is California running out of water?

Is California running out of water? On the next Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about managing California’s water supply. Two-thirds of the planet is covered in water but population growth and climate change could impact our water supply in the coming decades. What is the connection between global warming and our water supply? And what can we learn from states that are experiencing a water crisis? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
