Episode Description

The flow on the Verde River has been drastically reduced due to the pumping of groundwater and drought. A report by the Sierra Club's Arizona Water Sentinels shows it's down to half its flow rate from the 1990's. A USGS gage on the river shows it's decreasing by about .36 cubic feet every year.
