Malynndra Tome's experience witnessing an elderly woman fetching water in a gas station illustrates the ongoing water crisis affecting about 30% of the Navajo Nation. A recent report by the Pacific Institute and collaborators outlines strategies for these vulnerable communities, advocating for the adoption of nature-based solutions, community-specific approaches, and technological innovations in water and wastewater management. It emphasizes the importance of resilience amidst uncertainties in federal funding, aiming to inspire hope and action in addressing infrastructural challenges exacerbated by climate change events.
"How can we be living in the United States of America ... one of the most powerful countries in the world, and people are living like this here?"
"What we hope to do with this report, what I hope, is that it actually gives people hope... I think people will find other ways."
