Drinking Water 101: What Goes Into Making Water Safe and Available at Home and Around the Globe
Description
Have you ever wondered where your water comes from or if it’s safe to drink? Clean drinking water is one of those things that many who have it may take for granted, but there’s so much more to it than just turning on the tap. In this episode, hear from Morgan Close, the Vice President of Projects and Programs at Project WET, about the importance of clean drinking water and how we can protect and conserve it.
The current global water crises taking place in Mississippi in the United States, and across Pakistan highlight the importance and power of water. After massive flooding caused by storms, both places are experiencing displaced residents who only have access to unsafe drinking water. Many experts believe climate change is to blame for the storms while lack of infrastructure and planning exacerbates the impacts.
