Local Water Security
Get PDFDr. Schuster-Wallace examined how environmental changes, particularly those driven by climate change, contribute to inequities, noting that shifting hydrological patterns, such as precipitation variability and glacial melt, strain both natural and human systems and affect water quality and availability.
