The 4 Horsemen of America's Water Apocalypse

"Water Apocalypse" may come in as an exaggerated stretch; I'm sorry. Yet if you want a number to understand the magnitude of what we're discussing here: fixing America's water challenges is estimated at... $1 trillion. So, what makes for this Water Crisis in America? This is the consequence of decades of flawed water management along four main lines.  Broken infrastructure starts showing with nearly 15% of US citizens served with water that recently breached the Safe Water Act. When they get served at all, as 2.2 million Americans don't get any water services.  Water economics are in dangerous imbalance. The combined effects of the "wrong pockets problem" and recurrent underinvestment place an entire section of the Water Sector in a perilous situation.  Policies move and adapt slower than the changing world we live in. And even when they tend to evolve, enforcement is an entirely new problem.  Beyond policies, an entire sector struggles to embrace change - when it inevitably will have to. ▶️ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube  ▶️ Check out my full article on the American Water Apocalypse Hosted on Ausha.
