Importance of a consistent and clean supply of water
Have you ever wondered where your drinking water comes from? How about where the water used to irrigate the fields where our food is grown? Why has there been a consistent drought in the Central Valley over the last several years? Our situation has stabilized a bit the last couple of years, but we are not completely free from the constant fear of drought and low water supply in the valley.
To introduce the importance of a clean and consistent water supply, research the city of Flint, Michigan and what they have been going through since 2014, and closer to home in Lindsay in 2017 and Porterville from 2016 and answer the following:
1. What was wrong with the water supply?
2. Why did the problem occur?
3. What was done to fix the problem? What were the options available?
4. Compare the 3 examples, which one concerns you most about the water supply?
