Carrie,

The East End Resilience System is addressing this water crisis with a series of water, oceans, and sanitation-oriented organizations. Our upcoming serious games will address this issue. The East End Distributed Collectively Intelligent Grid will over time have a sensor network that will identify sanitation, water, and other environmental problems. However, this is a serious management and governance issue now that will likely get worse before it gets better, given population growth, ignorance, bureaucratic incompetence, corruption, and the public’s willingness to dump their risks, economic burdens, and pathogens into the environmental commons.
