How can the private sector help solve water issues? What legislation can balance private sector involvement with public interests? In his book, @WaterLawProf answers these questions and many more: "Liquid Asset." Listen to @MavensNotebook podcast episode: https://t.co/uCQknFMP68

[Center on Food Security and the Environment @FoodSecurity_SU]

How do groundwater levels affect crop yields in the US Corn Belt? As climate change brings more wet + dry extremes, a @PNASNews study from @stanforddoerr & @IowaStateU is shedding light on the critical role groundwater plays.
