Water (Pt. 2)

Tune in for part two of our three-part series on the future of water in Utah! In this episode we dive into the who, what, when, and how of water rights and use in Utah. What is a water right? Who gets to use water and when? How were water rights decided in the West and managed today? We also look at the Colorado Compact and how much water we use here in Utah.

We’d like to extend a special thanks to our expert guests for joining us in this episode: Dr. Joanna Endter-Wada, Professor of Natural Resource Policy & Social Science in the Department of Environment and Society at USU, Teresa Wilhelmsen, State Engineer of the Utah Division of Water Rights, and Warren Peterson, seasoned water attorney and member the Utah Water Task Force.
