In this week’s podcast, my visitor is David Brooks, executive director of Montana Trout Unlimited. With dominating dry spell conditions in the western United Sates and increased need from numerous users– from farming to towns to leisure fishing– how can we stabilize making use of water? David discusses the distinction in between the riparian teaching utilized primarily in the eastern United Sates and the prior-appropriation teaching utilized in western states, and discusses how users have actually come together to assign water for human usage and for keeping sufficient water in rivers to support healthy trout populations.
