Rohit "Rit" Aggarwala kicks off this episode with some bad news for New Yorkers but if there's anyone out there who can deliver it to them, it's him. Because although technically a utility leader as the man responsible for delivering water to 9 million of them, he is also so much more besides.

As Commissioner to New York City's Department of Environmental Protection, his role extends to being responsible for the whole city's climate plan. Listen now to find out what it's like to be responsible for the whole water cycle in the world's most iconic city.

Plus there's discussion of how New York is now technically a sub-tropical city, the role that plumbers can play and the ways in which satellite imagery could help with fairer bills.
