Ten Across looks at major challenges holistically—including the artificial barriers or boundaries which may inhibit addressing an issue with all of the means at our disposal. We’re taking a deeper dive into the Colorado River crisis in a series of episodes—an exemplary case study into one of the monumental challenges of our time. Join us as we speak with experts who can provide insights into the history, issues, and policies of this great water and energy system and how we can better leverage it to for a more sustainable and resilient future.

In part two of this series, Ten Across founder Duke Reiter speaks with Arizona State University water law professor Rhett Larson about the legal nature of the drying Colorado River, his thoughts on desalination, and why everyone in America should care about the river’s plight.
