Utah has some unique water problems but they’re not that unique. Studying water in Utah can tell us a lot about similar places that also rely on high mountain snowpack for their yearly allotment. But a lot of the research involving water in Utah has implications way beyond that.

In this hour, four stories about local research with global legs. From feeding people in the Nile Delta to informing policy in Pakistan. From negotiating the shifting watery border between the U.S. and Mexico to…camping on Mars.

We’re going far out this week on The Source a production of Utah Public Radio.  For more information you can visit their website here.  This special will air on Friday at 10 AM and 8 PM on KCPW 88.3 and 105.3.
