Robert Glennon is the Morris K. Udall Professor of Law and Public Policy in the Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona. Dr. Glennon discusses his newest book, Unquenchable:America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It.

But as we'll see, what is happening in Vegas is not staying in Vegas. It's becoming a national epidemic.
