I am originally from a very large farm in Alberta. I know how important water is for people. In Canada, we have had water issues too. I remember the Walkerton tainted water tragedy in Ontario, around 25 years ago. Due to the provincial government cutbacks, that shouldn't have happened, water testing and treatment was privatized. There were many people who got sick and people also died, after E-Coli contamination hit the water supply. In Alberta, there were tailings pond leaks from an oil company, that were neglected by an oil company, the provincial government, and the AER (an environmental regulation body). Now, First Nations communities are suing the provincial government and the AER for negligence. Where the First Nations hunt, gather food, and fish, the water is contaminated with toxins from tailings pond leaks, that went on for months. Also, in Canada, there still are Native reservations that still have issues with getting clean water. There is certain parts of North America that are dealing with a drought. There is some rain falling, but more is needed to help combat th drought. Cheers! ✌️
Unfortunately, many people do not speak up when good is done. An old politician said, "The silence was deafening" when he did good for everyone. So I speak up and glad to do so. You will be the beginning of many new lessons as people can teach themselves when they know what to look for. Just my thoughts. Thank you.
I recall around 25 years ago all of Sydney, AUSTRALIAs water supply became over run with giardia and crypto sporidian. All water had to be boiled extensively or you had to use bottled water. With a baby at the time I was buying a lot of bottled water. People died from it.
I grew up in northeastern Alabama - South Appalachia. There was a little brook behind our house, where you could drink water & not worry about contaminants. Sadly, those days are long gone.
Many Native Americans living on reservations out west don't have indoor plumbing. I was born & raised in northern Alabama. In the mid-1970's, when I was in high school, our local TV stations began broadcasting about the horrible drinking water conditions in Wall-Triana, a black neighborhood in Huntsville, Alabama. People were getting very sick. Citizens began protesting. I think I remember the water department doing just enough to placate the protesters. However, the drinking water is still contaminated, & people are still getting sick.😡
I am always in awe of your skills in research and connecting that to how this City had develop. Water is life and how this COUNTRY developed through persevering and creating viable potable water is such an important part of how important this subject is!
The water issue of the US boils down to class. It is the working class that disproportionally pays the price of every terrible decision made by those in power.

The best way to remember is to have a memorable frame work.
You have a perfect skill with your videos.
Most people just want clarity.
Congratulations.

Thank you.
They are always so well researched, written and presented. The holy trinity really.

Thank you so much for this deep dive to walk folks through the history of water inequity across our cities!

Excellent work 👏 short and clear.
Thank you for doing this deep dive. I learned a lot!
...yet another award winning piece!
Great episode Ariel. 👏🏽BRAVO!
I think it's a basic human right. Shelter is as well.

I appreciate that 🙏 this took a lot of research, I’m glad you learned something from it
Same water problems in Africa.
Same water problems all over the world... 😉🌍
It is so simple.. whwn money talks, quality drops big time.
cool video and do a video on the qbl subway
Good video but please for the love of god take the effort to change the aspect ratio for a longer video like this.
WOW!
