Climate change is increasing the frequency of disasters, exposing vulnerabilities in U.S. water systems. Aging infrastructure, overwhelmed treatment facilities, and drought-induced shortages highlight the urgent need for upgrades.
To prepare for future climate events, we must:
Upgrade pipelines & treatment plants to prevent failures.
Implement backup power for uninterrupted water supply.
Enhance stormwater management with green infrastructure.
Promote conservation through rainwater harvesting & reuse.
Strengthen policies & funding for long-term resilience.
Investing in resilient water systems is critical for public health and stability. Learn more.
