As California faces one of the most severe droughts on record, KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO will present a comprehensive examination of the region’s current water emergency in a day-long series titled, “Running on Empty: Our Epic Drought,” aired July 31.
KNX 1070’s award-winning news staff will look at the
impact the worsening drought will have on our lives far beyond dry lawns and dirty cars. A
potential health emergency looms, firefighters are changing
the way they battle fires and some areas are already on the verge of
running out of water.
KNX
will detail what sets the current drought apart from those the state
has experienced in the recent past. Among the questions to be answered
are what food products might disappear from shelves and which ones will
get costlier, who decides who’ll be able to tap into the eroding water
supply and what will the long-term effects be on the local environment
and wildlife?
Seven
KNX reporters have conducted more than 50 interviews with California
Governor Jerry Brown, representatives from the Metropolitan and Orange
County Water Districts, climatologists, environmentalists, farmers and
others.
