Joe Wertz \/ StateImpact Oklahoma<\/p>\n

Audience members ask lawmakers questions during a Policy and a Pint event in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Water is a key component of Oklahoma’s economy. It’s also unique.<\/p>

Water is simultaneously a public, natural resource and a valuable industrial commodity. And its availability \u2014 and scarcity \u2014 profoundly impacts business, government, tourism and quality of life.<\/p>

How do we balance use with conservation? Where is Oklahoma’s water, and where is it needed? Why does Texas want our water? And who owns it, anyway?<\/p>

It’s a big conversation, and the discussion has deeper meaning given the drought, which has persisted<\/a> in Oklahoma for two years.<\/p>

StateImpact will lead a discussion on all things Oklahoma water tonight at Policy and a Pint<\/a>, an event hosted by our partners at KOSU.<\/p>
