Overview
The US faces escalating water scarcity and pollution, exacerbated by climate change and human activity.
Environmental, technological, and social factors are intricately linked when it comes to current challenges in the US water infrastructure, necessitating a holistic approach. This research reveals three broad areas with potential leverage in the water system: government’s central influence, citizen’s underused influence, and working for nature.
This research will also bring insights to business leaders, policy makers, and citizens, that can support them in an approach to the US water infrastructure that goes beyond fixing leaks, and instead aims to transform it towards what water has always been: a source of regeneration.
