Can you imagine waking up and not being able to flush your toilets, take a shower, make a cup of coffee, or fill the pets’ water bowls? Now imagine that it’s not just your home, but your entire community: no water for manufacturing; no water for fire crews to keep you safe; no water for farmers to irrigate crops and grow food. Today, #ImagineADayWithoutWater celebrates its tenth year of raising awareness about the critical role water plays in every aspect of our lives! The last decade has brought some key changes in the way our nation values water. The?$62 billion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law?represents a historic federal investment in water through increased incentives to develop equitable water systems that alleviate climate impacts, promote sustainability, and ensure everyone has access to our most precious resource. It’s the single largest investment in water in the history of our nation. But even though we’ve come a long way, there’s still much progress to be made. That’s where YOU fit in. Everyone has a stake in the future of our nation’s water. And for this milestone year, we want you to consider one question: What’s your drop in the bucket? What can you do to protect and preserve water? Read more on the WaterWorks blog: https://lnkd.in/eYvbe_Dw
