Environmental Justice and the Future of Water
Show Notes

What is the future of the paradigm of Environmental Justice in relationship to the future of all things water?  Dr. David Pellow of the University of California, Santa Barbara, joins the Water Foresight Podcast to guide us on this journey.  What is "Environmental Justice"?  What do the terms "justice" and "fairness" mean?  Who decides?  What if the process is "fair" but the outcome is "not fair"?  Does "Critical Environmental Justice" exist and, if so, where is it going?  What is the future of water through the lens of the Environmental Justice paradigm?  Does this impact the "human right to water"?  Is water "systemically racist"?  Are reparations possible?  Should water itself have rights?  What about the future impact on Western Water Law?  Will there be a federal law addressing Environmental Justice?  The Podcast needs a few more hours to unbundle these issues.
