California’s water, land, and fire systems are, in many cases, driven by federal court orders from litigation decided decades ago, before current conditions existed. That distance between today’s challenges and the decisions governing them may explain more about California’s long-term planning struggles than most coverage admits.

In this episode, Wade Crowfoot, California’s secretary of Natural Resources, sits down to discuss what the state is doing to change that, its conservation plan, its water infrastructure, and the conditions behind the Los Angeles fires.
