We all need fresh water to survive, yet it's so ubiquitous most of us barely spare it a thought in our daily lives. This hour we take a look at the state of water in our country, from rivers and streams to the water that comes out of our taps.

We hear from an author who says our modern society in the US has taken clean water for granted; however, with global climate change, we are going to have to bring water back to the forefront of the way we plan our world and our lives.

We also hear about proposed changes from the EPA that could impact which waterways are protected from pollution.

And we get an update about Connecticut’s state water plan. We ask: what are some of the biggest challenges are for the future of water in our state?
