California has gone from not having enough water to having way
too much of it. Three weeks of powerful storms have deepened the snowpack, filled
reservoirs and sent millions of gallons cascading into the sea, because the state
doesn’t have enough reservoir capacity.

Now the debate is over whether, where and how to build new water
storage, and how to prevent more flooding in the future.

For more, KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Bret Burkhart, and Patti Reising spoke with Dr. Peter Gleick, co-founder and senior fellow at the Pacific Institute, a global water think tank based in Oakland. Dr. Glick is a renowned expert on water and climate issues, winner of a MacArthur “Genius” fellowship, and received both his Masters and his PhD from UC Berkeley.
