Documenting California’s Epic Drought (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Maybe el Nino will bail California out. Dump enough water in the right places this winter to pull the Golden State back from the brink of drought disaster. But there is no guarantee. And no single season of rain is going to cure the state of its long, parched descent into bone dry. Diana Marcum won the Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on California’s drought. She’s back on the road right now, witnessing with photographer Robert Gauthier just how bad it is. How Californians are adjusting – or not. Looking at lives and futures. This hour On Point: we’re on the road in drought-stricken California. / Tom Ashbrook
