Based on the 12/16/24 Buckmaster show on KVOI-1030AM.
- “If you own land and you can punch a well, you can pump all the water you want” — Dr. Jeff Silvertooth on rural water rights
- “Facts may be facts, but perceptions become people’s reality” — Dr. Silvertooth on agricultural water use debates
- “We broke some ground” — Kim Adair on getting NCAA approval for alcohol sponsorship
- “We’re not a 501c3 non-profit ourselves. We’re doing this because we want to drive economic impact into southern Arizona” — Kim Adair on Arizona Bowl’s mission
🌍💧 Imagine if some neighborhoods had rules about using water from underground, but others didn’t have any rules at all! 😲 That’s what’s happening in Arizona right now. Some places are running out of water 💧🚫 because companies can pump as much as they want, while cities have strict rules about saving water 🚰📜.
At the same time, exciting things are happening with college football 🏈🎉 — a famous musician named Snoop Dogg 🎤🐶 is helping make a big game in Tucson that gives all its extra money 💵❤️ to help people in need. It’s like having two totally different stories happening at once: one about running out of water 🌊🏜️, and another about helping the community through sports! 🤝✨
