The Source
The Source -- an hour-long conversation with the people whose knowledge is used to manage Utah’s most precious resource.
As a way to recognize the efforts made by its water scientists and engineers, Utah State University is celebrating 2015 as the Year of Water. Tune in throughout the year as UPR’s Jennifer Pemberton and a team of reporters follow scientists into the lakes, streams, and snowfields that are the source of our drinking water, our agricultural industry, our stunning scenery, and our world-class recreation.
Support for The Source on Utah Public Radio comes from iUTAH and Utah State University's 2015 Year of Water.
