Water connects every aspect of life. Access to safe water can promote education, work opportunities, and better the overall health for families across the world.
El Salvador is a country that has achieved the greatest progress in the world in terms of increased access to water supply and sanitation. However, water resources are heavily polluted, and the great majority of wastewater is discharged without any treatment into the environment. With a scarce amount of clean water, the issue of privatizing water has been highlighted, and the people of El Salvador are trying to understand current laws so they can work towards amending them in favor of equal justice.
Flint, Michigan underwent a water crisis and a subsequent federal state of emergency in 2016. The water supply, diverted from the Flint River, was contaminated by lead, trihalomethanes, coliform bacteria, and Legionnaires' disease. While the water is now considered drinkable, the lead pipes still leach lead into the water, and some pipes still haven't been replaced as of 2021.
Let’s work together to make the power of clean water available to all!
