Teens say California drought makes tap water taste funky

All California residents are supposed to be taking shorter showers these days, but it's hard to appreciate the reality of the drought until the water problem affects us directly. Savannah Robinson and her friends noticed that Oakland's tap water – which has always tasted as good as bottled water – has assumed a somewhat livelier taste profile. She dug in and found the change was part of the city's reaction to the shortage. "But for teens like me who grew up with the drought, this is our new normal." She explores how teens adapt to the worst drought on record, for Youth Radio. Update: Producers used the brand new Youth Radio App to poll 44 people about whether they’d changed their water habits. The surprising results can be found here.
