Water Insecurity and Population Health
In a new health policy brief
,
researchers from the University of California Los Angeles, the
University of California Berkeley, and Spelman College examine water
insecurity in the United States and its implications for health equity.
In the brief, the authors note that while the quantity of water
available in the US is adequate, more than 60 million people receive
drinking water from systems that are either not in compliance with the
Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 or from unregulated private wells.
The authors suggest that forms of structural violence, including
regulatory abandonment and underinvestment, contribute to health- and
economic-related burdens of water insecurity that are felt
disproportionately by communities of color and low-income communities.
They conclude that large-scale investments and policies are needed to
close the gap between the aspirations of laws recognizing a human right
to water and the realities of the water security challenges that remain.
