With climate change driving more frequent and severe flooding events — including a recent state of emergency declared across 40 Michigan counties — local water systems are under growing scrutiny. In honor of Huron River Day, WEMU's Issues of the Environment explores how the University of Michigan's Digital Water Lab is using cutting-edge technology to monitor the Huron River. Host David Fair speaks with Professor Branko Kurkez, Director of the Water Lab and Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, about what these tools mean for the region's water future.
