  Radio Specials Climate One From the Commonwealth Club The Water Underfoot -- The historic drought is driving farmers and communities to suck more out of the ground. That can lead to salt water leaking into aquifers and the creation of sinkholes. California manages and monitors its groundwater much more loosely than other Western states. The new fracking law and other measures are gradually changing that, but the Golden State still needs to improve how it handles a precious economic resource. Will the drought finally drive California to improve the way it uses the water under our feet?

In Iraq, that means trying to win back Sunnis in areas where the group, also known as ISIS, controls territory. Something similar happened during the Iraq war: it was called the Sunni Awakening.
