What happens to rain water absorbed by desert soil? We can see the impact of rain water on the surface; but researchers at DRI are exploring the water we can't see. As KCVB shows, the study of rain water absorbed by desert soils could lead to new discoveries in water preservation and utilization. The video features DRI researcher Michael Young.
