Episode 10: California water begins trading on wall street & toxic water in Latino towns

Two billion people now live in nations plagued by water problems, and almost two-thirds of the world could face water shortages in just four years. The United Nations has long warned that human-driven climate change is leading to severe droughts and more flooding, making water availability increasingly less predictable. In California, the most recent acute dry spell stretched from December 2011 until March of last year. The direst effects took hold in July 2014, with 58% of the state’s land suffering “exceptional drought,” leading to crop and pasture losses and other water emergencies. Water also recently joined gold, oil, and other commodities traded on wall street.

Episodio 10: El agua de California comienza a comerciar en Wall Street y agua tóxica en ciudades latinas

Dos mil millones de personas viven ahora en naciones plagadas de problemas de agua y casi dos tercios del mundo podrían enfrentar escasez de agua en solo cuatro años.

En California, el periodo seco agudo más reciente se extendió desde diciembre de 2011 hasta marzo del año pasado. Los efectos más espantosos se produjeron en julio de 2014, cuando el 58% de la tierra del estado sufrió una “sequía excepcional”, lo que provocó pérdidas de cultivos y pastos y otras emergencias relacionadas con el agua. El agua también se unió recientemente al oro, el petróleo y otras materias que se comercializan en Wall Street.
