YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMany of us take access to clean water for granted, but for millions of Americans, the water coming out of their taps simply isn’t safe to drink. While recent water crises in Jackson, Mississippi; Flint, Michigan; and New Orleans, Louisiana have made national headlines, implementing solutions has been a challenge. The water equity issue is also a social justice one with low-income, Black and Brown communities experiencing the highest water insecurity. Why hasn’t one of the world’s richest countries been able to fix the problem? Shannon Marquez, the Dean of Global Engagement and Professor of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene at Columbia University, talks about costs and obstacles to addressing our country's water infrastructure failures.
