On Monday we discussed the problems concerning a shortage of safe, clean water in Africa. Although it is not a humanitarian piece, I found another example of water shortage in the news today. We’ve mentioned the drought in California in class but here is the latest: Salmon will have to be trucked from their traditional spawning grounds due to water levels connecting them to the Pacific. In addition to the steep cost of transporting the smolts, this seems like human interference could have other, negative impacts. What do you think?
