Does America Have a Water Crisis? Interview with Robert Glennon

Have you ever considered how much it costs to keep unlimited clean water flowing into your faucets at home? Or how much water goes into growing all the food that you eat? Can you imagine our supply of water running out?

These are topics we explored during our interview with Robert Glennon, Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Arizona and author of "Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It". He is on a mission to hold government and individuals responsible for true stewardship of our greatest resource: water.

How can we possibly run out of water, we have desalination, and the oceans are full!

Clean water to my faucet wouldn't have government mandated additives. My tropical fish die in tap water as well as my hydroponic plants. In this video Robert Glennon states that we lose water through evaporation? I think he's a bit confused...it's not leaving the planet. I think he chose to live and work in an area that can't sustain the needs of humans so he is only adding to his local problem. I suggest he move.
