US Water Alliance releases report on U.S. water access challenges

The US Water Alliance has released a new report in partnership with DigDeep and Michigan State University focusing on water access, titled Closing the Water Access Gap in the United States: A National Action Plan.

Over the last three years, the US Water Alliance has been working to understand how water systems affect vulnerable people and to advance more equitable water management practices. The organization developed a national framework and highlighted promising practices. Building on that framework, the Alliance also launched the Seven-City Water Equity Taskforce, an initiative that brings together utilities and community leaders to collaboratively respond to challenges like aging infrastructure, affordability, workforce inclusion, and water quality.
