Watch: A Brief History of Water in the West.

In this new video we explore how the American West was built on a system that separated water from the land. And how today the consequences are impossible to ignore. Learn how outdated water management practices created scarcity across the West and why data-driven, watershed-scale solutions are critical for the future. From irrigation modernization to basin-wide analytics, the video explores how working with nature, not against it, can protect food systems, rivers and communities in a changing climate.
