The SplashCast Episode 4: Humans & Water, Pt. 2: Who Deserves Water?

This episode was first published on August 8, 2018 and has recently been moved to Anchor. Equity and justice for all are important  water rights issues, and my two guests this month delve into these  serious humanizing topics with eloquence. Dr. Josiah Heyman is an  anthropologist at the University of Texas at El Paso studying water and  other human rights issues on the border of the US and Mexico. Anuradha  Kowtha is a scientist and transformation specialist whose work is  dedicated to restorative justice among the most marginalized people  groups. Their perspectives on introducing the human element into  scientific solutions can help stakeholders make better sense of future  water solutions.
