Episode Highlights:

  • Top water stories - Elizabeth, Brent and John share the top water stories of 2016. From water quality issues to water quantity and water rights challenges, BWTL looks to tell the story of water. In no particular order, these are the top water stories of 2016:

    • Florida and Georgia argue in court over water rights.

      • Senator Rubio mentioned this fight in a Senate debate while jokingly channeling Donald Trump: "We're going to make Georgia give us the water, and Georgia's going to pay for it."

    • The presidential election and its potential impacts on water policy.
      ​
      • ​Trump win churns U.S.-Mexico water talks.

      • Needed investments in infrastructure, including water infrastructure.  

      • Rural America came out in support of President-elect Trump and with a pending farm bill and other issues affecting rural areas of the country in play, the Trump Administration will have opportunities to support rural Americans. 

    • Water quality issues, including ​the water crisis in Flint, Mich., where people were exposed to lead in their drinking water.

      • ​This situation has been mentioned often on BWTL and NPR shared a complete timeline of the crisis.

    • Western drought and the stories describing responses to drought. For example:

      • In California, funding was allocated for turfgrass removal programs and currently these programs show little water savings.

      • In Santa Barbara, Calif. lawn watering was recently banned.

    • Lastly, the start of this podcast! Thanks for listening to BWTL in 2016. Go to our Contact page to share feedback and ideas for 2017 topics.
