摘要

Every day, millions of people across the U.S. simply turn on the tap to access clean water, fulfilling basic household needs from drinking and bathing to watering the lawn. Few think about what it takes to deliver that water, and even fewer know that the future of their tap-ready water is at serious risk, as the demand of a growing population meets a deteriorating, historically underfunded infrastructure. This is a crisis we cannot afford to ignore. Water is essential to life itself. Just as the human body cannot survive without drinking water, virtually every aspect of society requires water in order to function. Without it, there would be no lire protection, agriculture, manufacturing, or power grid.
机译:每天,美国各地数百万人仅需打开水龙头即可获取清洁水,满足从饮水,洗澡到浇水草坪的基本家庭需求。很少有人考虑输送水的需求,很少人知道自来水的未来面临严重风险,因为不断增长的人口需求满足了日益恶化的,历史上资金不足的基础设施。这是我们不能忽视的危机。水对生命本身至关重要。正如人体不喝水无法生存一样,社会的几乎每个方面都需要水才能发挥作用。没有它,就不会有里拉保护,农业,制造业或电网。
