Episode 6 - The Supreme Court Fights Against Water Rights Part 2
Episode 6
Wednesday, 6 September, 2023

In June of this year, the Court ruled in a 5-4 decision to severely restrict the definition of wetlands in the US. This overrules years of precedent, rewrites the Clean Water Act, and could have severe impacts on water quality across the nation. Now, up to 63 million acres of wetlands and several million miles of ephemeral streams are at risk of being developed, polluted, or destroyed.This episodes discusses what wetlands are, why they are important, and how the decision will negatively impact water quality across the country.Image Source: Earthjustice, 2022Battle Music: The Army of the Minotaur by Makai Symphony
