We explore the underground aquifers of central Iowa with Bill Simpkins of Iowa State University. Topics include why Ames water tastes so good (and why we have so much of it), the dangers of drawing water from private, rural wells, the difficulty of modeling farm tile systems, and the efforts of an ISU group, Water and Climate Change, to model the behavior of farmers in the Squaw Creek watershed. Viveca Dillard joins us for sports and gets schooled by Greta on why Green Bay is still the coolest team in the NFL
