In 2010, the United Nations General Assembly recognized the human right to water and sanitation and acknowledged that clean drinking water and sanitation are essential to the realization of all human rights. Unfortunately, that resolution has not become a reality. An estimated 2 billion people around the world still do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. <\/p>\n
In the United States, more than 26 million people have contaminated water flowing from their faucets. Two million don’t have access to modern plumbing or can’t afford to keep their water running. And a new study from the USGS suggests that at least HALF of the drinking water in the US is contaminated with ‘forever chemicals’. So what happened? And to who?\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t
