Want to learn more about water’s journey to reach your tap? Check out The Nature Conservancy‘s massively informative Urban Water Blueprint.

In addition to cataloging dozens of the world’s largest watersheds, this interactive map offers detailed information on key cities (read: water consumers) from around the globe. 

Did you know that 90% of L.A.’s water is transferred into the city, and that it travels an average of 71 km to get there?

The Infra Blog offers cutting edge perspective on a broad spectrum of Infra topics. Frequent updates and provocative posts highlight hot button topics -- essential ingredients of a national Infra dialogue.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
