Provides detail on an important topic. Great reporting.

Nicely produced show, great interviews. Some big current issues missing; 1) water energy nexus - use of water by thermo-electric power plants, global warming emissions causing drought. Feedback loop 2) AMA up for ballot as prop 420 and 422 in Willcox and Douglas basins. ADWR dissalowing discussion of hydrology at their meeting, no meetings for Douglas residents who are predominantly Hispanic and pro water conservation 3) Riverview dairy attempted to create a water district to benefit their interested, got shut down by locals for conflict of interest concerns. 4) farm bureau against the AMA, putting out misinformation campaign, calling petitioners fraudulent, judge dismisses their case due to lack of evidence 5) Gila Indian reservation to build the first solar panel covered canal in the US to prevent evaporation and offset CO2 emissions 6) fights between California Arizona and Nevada over Colorado river

It’s great to see AZPM addressing this important topic. The episodes are well researched and well presented.
