Chicago is set to break ground on a pipeline that will bring water from the Great Lakes to some suburbs whose groundwater is running dry. Joliet, Illinois, is one of those suburbs. Here & Now's Chris Bentley reports on the question of who is allowed to use Lake Michigan's water. And, as cities across the West brace for a drier future, they're investing in advanced water purification technology. Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd reports on scientists who are turning wastewater into drinking water. Then, desalination — pulling fresh, drinkable water from saltwater— can offer some relief in areas facing water shortages. Robert Bergstrom, CEO of OceanWell, explains how the company's desalination pods work. And mechanical engineer Amos Winter details how his team uses an electrodialysis system to purify groundwater.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders talks about his Fighting Oligarchy Tour and explains where the political battle lines are right now on hot-button cultural issues, health care and more. And, the Food and Drug Administration is responsible for ensuring a safe food supply. But cuts to the FDA have called into question the agency's ability to maintain that standard. NBC News' Suzy Khimm shares what the impact could be. Then, climate change is impacting water supplies around the world. But desalination — pulling fresh, drinkable water from saltwater— can offer some relief. OceanWell CEO Robert Bergstrom and MIT mechanical engineer Amos Winter join us to share more on their work with desalination.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

New research suggests the planet has already exceeded 1.5 degrees of warming, the threshold parties to the 2015 Paris Accord agreed not to pass. The scientists in the study examined centuries-old sea sponges, finding growth records that document changes in water temperature, acidity and carbon dioxide levels in the air. The research calculated that we may have already hit 1.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Indiana State University paleo oceanographer and co-author of the study Amos Winter spoke to Corin Dann.
