It's no secret we've got big problems with water in California. A new survey from the Public Policy Institute of California this week shows two-thirds of adults say our lack of water is a big problem. Folks in the Central Valley are the most likely to be worried, and for good reason. Agriculture uses 80 percent of the state's water. Next week will tell us just how serious the drought is. On Thursday, the Sierra snowpack will be measured for the last time this year. Host Scott Shafer talks with Craig Miller, science editor for KQED News.
