Our current news headlines are filled with debates and vocal frustration over how to bring overdrafted hydrological budgets back into balance in California and the Colorado River watershed. But what exactly is a hydrological budget?

The summer edition of the California Project WET Gazette engages students in answering this question and builds their understanding of a concept central to current water management challenges.
