«Although there have been actions taken to address these problems, many
of my constituents are deeply concerned with potential ongoing health risks to their families, delayed and confused responses by the state and federal agencies involved, and
lack of accountability to find out what happened and
why it was allowed to go on after the initial detection
of the contamination
of their
water supply.»
This booklet contains activities, statistics and information to explore
why access to clean
water is vital, how a
lack of water can affect the lives
of people globally and the relationship between gender inequality and
water.
