Ok, so what projects have federal funds made possible to further the #HumanRightToWater? 📍Texas colonias Settled in the 1950s and ‘60s, many colonias along the Texas-Mexico border still don’t have running water or sewer service and instead rely on trucked-in water stored in plastic tanks for bathing and washing, and bottled water for drinking and cooking 🚰🍳 Now a collaboration between local, nonprofit (including Environmental Defense Fund), and state leaders is bringing more than $4 million in funding to address drinking and wastewater needs in rural communities in Presidio County, Texas. Some of the funds will make it possible to dig deep wells that can access groundwater and then pipe it to homes.
