Episode 1: Why Water is Everyone's Problem

from H2O and Beyond · host Alex Han

Every 90 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease — yet many of us barely think twice about the water we drink, cook with, and flush away.

From contaminated tap water in Flint Michigan to the growing threat of PFAS and microplastics, this episode breaks down why clean water is far from guaranteed — even in wealthy nations. Learn what "clean" water really means, why many treatment systems are falling short, and how climate change, aging infrastructure, and underinvestment are pushing systems to the brink. Plus, we spotlight global innovation bringing hope — from Paris’ stormwater basins to green infrastructure in U.S. cities.Whether you’re new to water issues or just thirsty for solutions, this episode will change how you see the water running through your life.Feedback Form: https://forms.gle/Ei3P5355xVfeqy3V8Follow the H2O and Beyond Socials!
