When it comes to water and how it's used in Arizona, two of the most criticized locations are golf courses and swimming pools. In a desert area, why would we devote a precious resource to these seemingly less important activities?

Arizona Republic Digital opinions editor Joanna Allhands wrote about the study and joined The Show to talk about the data.
