  • ‘It Gives Life’: Philippine Tribe Fights To Save A Sacred River From Dam [9]

    "Each year, members of the Dumagat-Remontado tribe gather at the Tinipak River to observe an Indigenous ritual to honor their supreme being and pray for healing and protection. This year, the rite had an additional intention: to ward off an impending dam project they fear will inundate the site of the ritual."

  • Will Billions To Fix Texas Water Systems Reach These Forgotten Colonias? [29]

    "An estimated 500,000 people live in thousands of colonias along the Texas-Mexico border. Largely built between the 1950s and 1980s, these communities have been promised water — but it has never come."

    "Maria Martínez constantly calculates how much water is left in the 2,000-gallon tank that sits outside her home near El Paso.

    When there’s less than 600 gallons, it’s time to place an order. A few loads of laundry and dirty dishes will use every last drop.
