Water is a vital part of life.
Water is constantly flowing all around us - in our streams and rivers, into our lakes, through our deltas and in pipes in our cities. Our waterways are interconnected, often in ways we never think of. But how are those waterscapes changing, and what role do we play in those changes?
We explore all the things you didn't know about our changing waterscapes on this episode of the USask Signature Series podcast.
