Ensuring Our Water Infrastructure is Disaster-Ready

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.

Strengthening Water Infrastructure

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.
