Across the U.S., states have been grappling with increasing water supply and water quality complications largely driven by climate change, aging infrastructure and pollution. A new research and data resource from the U.S. Geological Survey looks to help inform policymakers' and other stakeholders’ efforts to address water supply risks in their communities. 

In Kansas late last year, for instance, several communities’ water supplies were contaminated by nitrate pollution from crop fertilizer. The situation led to the city of Pratt turning off two wells that make up a quarter of the town’s water supply, sparking concerns of future water shortages if municipalities like Pratt have to continue shutting off that supply.
