Western Water Weekly: Shrinking Lakes, Tribal Rights, & Drought Updates (https://youtu.be/5twKw8_9WMo)

This week’s Western Water Weekly covers everything from cleanup efforts at the Santa Susana Field Lab to sharp federal funding cuts, dropping reservoir levels at Lakes Mead and Powell, and major Tribal water rights wins.

We also dive into viewer comments about alfalfa water use and the idea of piping Great Lakes water west. Plus, a “Blast from the Basin” story reminds us why perpetual motion—and endless water—remain illusions.
