minus-squareRimu@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-26 months agoYeah, that is amazing. Also this seems incredible: As an example, rural access to piped water in India as of 15th August 2019 was 16.8% and at present it is 74.7%. A lot of pipes in a very short time?!
minus-squareaStonedSanta@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-26 months agoSounds similar to what we need to do in America(except repairs/replacements also). It revitalizes economies to have all those workers in their area for such a time lol
minus-squareGBU_28@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoIt’s important to improve water access and quality in the us, but this figure from 2023 paints a very different situation than India. https://www.cdcfoundation.org/blog/addressing-growing-water-crisis-us 2.2mil/330mil is less than 1%. 2.2 is still way, way too high, but India has a much more serious issue. (and has made great progress!)
