this past spring, in klamath, oregon, farmers' wells ran dry.oundwater levels inut punjab were so low, nasa alerted india about it. and they're not alone. around 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity at least one month a more comes at a cost. so why and ware we running out? and who is profiting? just 1% of the water on earth sustains all life, and it doesn't just disappear. it travels around the planet in what's called the water cycle. let's quickly brush up on that. when the air is hot, it warms the water. water th evaporateinto the atmosphere. there it cools and condenses, forming clouds. they move around the planet horizontally in what are called atmospheric rivers. when there's enougwater in a cloud, it rains. and if it's cold enough, it snows. in the spring, snow melts to feed rivers, providing a source of water to the land during the coming hot months of the year. but climate change is messing this all up. rising temperatures mean more water falling as rain instead of snow. and the little snow there is evaporates rather than fl

commissioner touton knows how drought has hurt the klamath basin. where the lack of water is devastating. causing residential wells to run dry. then on top of this, the first responders and experts on the ground expect the drought conditions will fuel wildfire risks beyond even the historically bad conditions of the past couple years. dr. hall, you talked eloquently about the need for collaboration. good faith collaboration. because that's how you bring people together. in oregon, the oregon way. the best ideas are ones that have broad buy-in from all those actually impacted. i wrote the water shed results act to encourage people to come together to expand and improve water shed opportunities, looking back at both agriculture and environmental needs. specifically my legislation would fund pilot projects to address the impacts of droughts on water sheds. they use best available science and would identify quantifiable outcomes before they were able to secure funding. what are your thoughts with respect to these science-based collaborative approaches?

as i mentioned before, we are looking at the klamath basin which once provided 2500 acres of wetland. as of last fall, there were 600 acres of wetland, that has contributed to a botulism outbreak that has killed birds. and at least in the eastern part of the northern great plains, the duck factory, we are coming out of a two year drought. i was just in the prairies in england, much better than they did two years ago, we know that at least in north dakota, populations declined 25% just over that two year drought cycle. so, the implications are profound for not just water fowl, but migratory birds that depend on these resources. the fish and wildlife statistic is that 40% of all wildlife depend on wetlands for some portion of their lifecycle. so these droughts to have a profound impact on not just water fowl, but many, many species of wildlife that are economically and culturally important to us. >> thank you, dr. herbert. dr. schultz, my last question to you, on accountability or priorities that senator marshall raised, what would you like to see out of the money that is in the infrast
