This otherwise idyllic scene reveals just how low the water level is in Lake Oroville. At the time this photo was taken, the water should have been three quarters of the way up to the tree line.

Water is serious stuff, particularly in California where drought is on everyone's minds. Water flows into our houses and it also flows into our farms and gardens.

With supplies growing more limited, how do farms and gardens factor into the water equation? What are the environmental issues?

On this episode, we take a look at California's water supply, where it comes from, where it goes to, its impact on habitats, and how it supplies the farms and gardens that feed us.
