Urban Water Research

I have been very interested in the global water crisis over the last few years. My interest in water came from a few experiences including:

​

• Having to find and purify water during my scout campouts.

• Facing a “boil water notice” while at a volleyball tournament in a big city like Austin.

• Noticing how Dallas’ tap water tastes different during different times of the year making me wonder “is this water safe to drink?”

• Going without water during a winter freeze that broke some pipes in our house and not knowing when our water would be available again causing me to wonder how people go without a reliable source of water elsewhere in the world.

 

During the summer and fall of 2022, I began researching the water in my home city of Dallas. I got together with a few of my teachers and a couple people who work for my city to enhance my independent research about the water in Dallas, more specifically, the supply, demand, and threats to our water supply. Below is the research report, the website that I originally created to discuss water topics, and some blogs that I have written about this topic.
