U.S. Cities Face a Clean Water Crisis

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that access to clean drinking water is declining in many U.S. cities, including Portland, Houston, and Phoenix. Economic hardship and climate change are converging to make water increasingly unaffordable and scarce, especially for low-income communities. With incomes stagnating and climate-driven water shortages on the rise, this issue is projected to worsen significantly in the coming decades.
