Episode Details

Spokane River’s critical stretch goes bone-dry again—this time a mile and a half vanished two weeks earlier than last year, a stark wake-up call to climate change’s grip. Triggered by reduced dam releases aimed at saving Lake Coeur d’Alene, the river’s collapse exposes outdated federal dam rules ill-equipped for hotter, drier summers. Meanwhile, mystery seepage into underground aquifers has nearly doubled in two decades, worsening the crisis. Dead fish and crayfish are already washing ashore, prompting urgent pleas: cut back your water use now—and demand smarter, flexible dam management before it’s too late.
