How might we create systems that increase access to water for urban slum communities and are flexible enough to withstand crisis?
Access to clean water is essential for healthy lives. Informal settlements often lack the infrastructure to provide residents with a consistent, high-quality water supply. Water management and distribution is an essential component of urban resilience.
Let’s consider the different ways water could be collected and reused, how simple technology can be leveraged to supply clean water and how water supply can better meet daily needs.
