## Resource

Facing its fourth straight year of drought, the Okanagan region is rallying leaders from six First Nations and fifteen local governments to tackle a critical water crisis. With record-low snowpack, plummeting groundwater, and dwindling flows downstream, the area’s water shortage threatens farmers, ecosystems, and communities alike. A new collaborative leadership table aims to unify scientific and Indigenous knowledge for smarter, watershed-wide decisions — even as two major cities remain outside the effort, underscoring that water knows no borders. This historic partnership could be the key to securing the Okanagan’s water future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
