How can we learn to live with less on the Colorado River? This question is at the heart of Thirst Gap, a new podcast from KUNC. In a six-part series, host Luke Runyon examines how the Southwest is adapting to water shortages as climate change causes the region to warm up and dry out. Today on the news, we speak with Luke about this new series and his years of experience reporting on the people and places grappling with limited water supplies in our region.
