The Source, an hour-long monthly program produced by Utah Public Radio (UPR), has tracked water news across Utah. Monthly editions, which were supported by iUTAH, followed scientists, and others, into the lakes, streams, and snowfields that are the source of our drinking water, our agricultural industry, our stunning scenery, and our world-class recreation. Utah Public Radio is interested in partnering with groups from across the state to help educate the public through storytelling or underwriting. Past episodes of The Source are available at either the UPR or the iUTAH website.
