Hello, and welcome to a weekend edition of Western Water Notes. I’ll get back to regular programming soon, including a look at a new study on what is driving drought in the West. But before all that, I felt the need to write a few thoughts on journalism, storytelling and writing that I’ve been reflecting on as I’ve thought about some recent work. It’s not directly related to water, but in a sense it is, because we all live and die by information.

Hey there, and welcome back to Western Water Notes. I mostly focus on regional issues here in the American West, but I’m starting out this edition with a note about Hurricane Helene: The videos and images coming out of the Southeast this week are crushing and heartbreaking to watch. In a matter of just days, enough water fell (40 trillion gallons) to fill up Lake Tahoe or 60 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, according to the Associated Press.
