For weeks, a string of major storms have hit California, causing extreme flooding. While it might seem as if rain should have a silver lining for a state stuck in a historic drought, the reality is far more complicated.
Today, how California’s water management in the past has made today’s flooding worse and why it represents a missed opportunity for the future of the state’s water crisis.
Guest: Christopher Flavelle (https://www.nytimes.com/by/christopher-flavelle), a climate reporter for The New York Times.
