Grand Challenges for Engineering Articles

I've always thought that one of the more important challenges of the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering was providing access to clean water. Below is an article about how it's an issue in the US.

  • Take Action to Keep Water On in the US: Communities of Color Face Dangerous Lack of Access to Clean Water, Amanda Klasing, Human Rights Watch, 25 June 2020, accessed 29 September 2021 (Access to Clean Water)
