Water Is For Fighting Podcast

Water Is For Fighting is a five part documentary podcast series that explores the complexities around water management in the Western United States. For this season, we’re focusing on the South Platte River in Colorado, because it’s a resource that 4.5 million people rely on every day. For most of us, access to clean drinking water is a given, but our relationship with the natural environment is far more intimate-- whether you know it or not. With a growing population, increasingly destructive wildfires, and changing climates, big decisions are being made about the future of this finite resource. In each episode, our team guides you through the remarkable and intricate water delivery system in the Denver Metro area, from the watersheds, to the dams and reservoirs, the water treatment plants and through the pipes in your own home all of which guarantees that clean water is accessible. You’ll learn about the complicated intersections of water rights with socioeconomics, public health, aging infrastructure, science, and public policy.
