Water and the West – Podcast With Grady Gammage, Jr.
Some 40 million people in the American West rely on water from the Colorado River. But the river’s flow has diminished, and those decreases will likely continue. What does this mean for the American West in general and California and Arizona in particular? Will booming metro areas—Maricopa County, for example—have to halt their growth? Will vast expanses of agriculture disappear? Or is there reason to be optimistic about the West’s water future? Grady Gammage Jr. and Sarah Porter of Arizona State University’s Kyl Center for Water Policy discuss the issue.

The model covers the Hassayampa and East and West Salt River Valley sub-basins of the AMA, which captures most of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. The model projects that at the end of a 100-year projection period—in the year 2123—four percent (4%) of the total simulated groundwater demand in the sub-basins will be unmet.
