H2O Hotspots 2016 Year in Review | PODCAST |
In this special year end round table, Circle of Blue reporters discuss the big stories of 2016.
In 2016, Circle of Blue’s US coverage closely followed the developments out of Flint Michigan, as the city continued to struggle with lead contamination in its drinking water. Our team also covered the ongoing controversy over the Dakota Access Pipeline. Around the world, we reported stories on water conflict, infrastructure spending, stranded assets, and severe droughts brought on by El Nino in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
In this special year end round table, Circle of Blue reporters discuss the big stories of 2016. Keith Schneider, Senior Editor and Chief Correspondent at Circle of Blue, Brett Walton, editor of the Federal Water Tap, our weekly digest of U.S. government water news and Codi Kozacek, editor of The Stream, which is Circle of Blue’s daily digest of international water news trends, come together to discuss what they learned in 2016 and what the expect to see in 2017.
