America's (Avoidable) Water Crisis
Is there anything that we take for granted more than water? The average American uses 82 gallons a day at home. And yet most of us never stop to think about where it comes from...until something goes wrong.
Some parts of the country routinely run low on water. According to the World Resources Institute, parts of 17 American states are at “high or extremely high water risk.” And that’s going to be a problem because many of those places are getting more people...and less water. Seven of the ten fastest-growing states over the past decade—overwhelmingly in the American West—are in the high-risk category.
So, is this how we have to live in the 21st century, accepting water restrictions as part of life? It doesn’t have to be this way. We can conserve more water and build more storage to capture rainwater. And we can also...make more water. How? Our video reveals the innovative solutions that could help free America from water scarcity.
