Water: Is Santa Barbara All Dried Up?

Hosted by

Three years into the worst drought in California history, Santa Barbara is looking for water. While many Southern Californian cities are utilizing alternative water sources -- such as rainwater and water recycling -- the South Coast remains dangerously reliant on water from Lake Cachuma and a pipe into the state water project. From importing supplies to re-opening its desalination plant -- what are the costs? And what's the environmental impact?

On December 12, Warren Olney hosted a discussion before a live audience at Music Academy of the West in Montecito with a panel of local experts to discuss the state's paralyzing drought and Santa Barbara's sustainable future.
