I believe that us Americans should really think and be concerned about the state of our drinking water because we can’t go by…

Due to the hundreds of articles available on the Flint Water Crisis, I chose this one article because it broke down the timeline of events and included links to various documentation and articles.

For many years the emphasis of drought strategies in the region has been on short-term mitigation measures rather than long-term prevention incentive. In the past few years new policies have been emerging in which preparedness, rehabilitation, prevention and planning are the key elements. Current drought management strategies are attempting to treat droughts as a potentially serious disaster. These management cycles also intend to integrate program management cycles aimed at mitigation and…

that no one will like. There are events that can be a serious issue if not taken care of. People will die and our environment will collapse. These issues must come to a conclusion. Something local has been going on that is not ok. The Flint Water Crisis is something that is ruining lives and the city. This can’t be ignored.
