Water Fight
from Pennsylvania Legacies Hosted by Pennsylvania Environmental Council
Drinking water from the Delaware River is shared by Pennsylvania and three other states according to an elaborate, decades-old formula. For years, an agreement among the parties has allowed for some variability in that formula for the sake of maintaining healthy water levels and temperatures. But the recent lapse of the agreement could mean trouble -- both for the ecosystem, and for communities that depend on the Delaware for tourism and drinking water. Also in this episode: analysis of two major decisions handed down this summer by the state Supreme Court, which PEC's John Walliser says change the terms under which the state regulates environmental issues.
