"Water" radio episode

Title

"Water" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the issues of water rights and drought in the American West. In Bend, Oregon, AuCoin describes how a lot of water is wasted due to a 13 mile diversion canal that loses 65% of the water that it takes from the Deschutes River due to evaporation and seepage. He states that a proposal to replace the canals in order to make them more sustainable was denied by Bend homeowners. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired between 2002-2004.
