Mark your calendars
Be sure to watch Desert Wars: Water and the West on September 25 or 27. Here’s a quick description from KUED’s news release.
Our future is measured by the drop. It’s a story as old as the West itself; a story of water and power. Who has it and who wants it. Competing interests debate how growth, development, preservation, and conservation are at stake in the future of the West. Desert Wars: Water and the West, a one-hour KUED documentary film by John Howe, explores these pressing issues by looking at the conflicts surrounding the future of the Snake Valley groundwater aquifer in Utah’s west desert and efforts to tap it for Las Vegas, Nevada. The documentary, narrated by actor Joseph Campanella, with an original score by Vincent Frates, airs Monday, September 25, at 8 p.m. and repeats Wednesday, September 27, at 11 p.m. on KUED-Channel 7.
