====>Click to hear "Earth's Bounty: America's Water Crisis and Agriculture "
Meat, watermelon, rice, and other foods require a lot of water to grow.
And water is becoming scarce in major growing areas. That could increase
demand for foods grown in our region. These ideas are explored in the
new book Not A Drop to Drink: America's Water Crisis [And What You Can
Do]. The author, Ken Midkiff, is on the Board of Directors of Concerned
Citizens for Clean Water and is co-chair of the National Clean Water
Network. He recently spoke with The Allegheny Front's Jennifer Szweda
Jordan. It's part of our Earth's Bounty series on food and the
environment. Air date: Week of 08/08/2007

Playa Country
The Playa Country Radio Series is produced by the
Playa Lakes Joint Venture (PLJV) and Boy/Girl Audio for High Plains
Public Radio. The program is funded in part by the Lannan Foundation.
Playa Country will focus on the values of playas and efforts to conserve
them, as well as other wetlands, rivers, streams and grasslands that
support the rich High Plains wildlife heritage. Shows will feature
interviews with landowners, biologists, resource managers, community
leaders and others who are actively conserving wildlife habitat in the
High Plains, and will provide listeners with local contacts and
information on conservation programs, events and other opportunities to
get involved.
Playas are shallow, seasonal wetlands that serve as recharge basins for
the Ogallala Aquifer and provide critical habitat for hundreds of
wildlife species. The wetlands are unique to the High Plains region with
more than 60,000 in a six-state area of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
