TGI Friday Seminar: Fixing the 'No-Win' Waterscape: The Challenge of Drinking Water Provision in Texas
Who: Dr. Wendy Jepson, Department of Geography, Texas A&M University
When: Friday, September 25th, 3-4 PM
Where: EESAT 130
Why? Water is critical for life and sustenance. Yet, in low-income rural and peri-urban Mexican-American neighborhoods (colonias) along the Texas-Mexico border, the country's poorest communities face ad-hoc water delivery and inadequate potable water, which threaten environmental well-being and erode prospects for a healthy life.
Dr. Wendy Jepson joins us to examine environmental justice, household water security, and water governance in low-income Texas communities.
