LAKE LIFE: Limnologists study Lake Mead to protect our drinking water
About this episode
Limnologists Todd Tietjen and Deena Hannoun discuss their research on Lake Mead and its impact on drinking water supply.
Runoff in the Colorado River is expected to be 55 percent of normal this year which means Lake Mead water levels will drop. Lake levels and inflows to the lake can impact our drinking water supply. Limnologists Todd Tietjen and Deena Hannoun share how their research helps protect our drinking water, and how their studies help other Colorado River Basin water agencies on this episode of the Water Smarts Podcast.
