Water Politics in Michigan

Collected by: University of Michigan Library

Archived since: Sep, 2017

Description:

The state of Michigan has seen numerous crises and controversies surrounding the protection of its lakes and rivers as well as the responsibility to provide safe, clean water to residents. The Flint water crisis; the price increases and subsequent water shut-offs in Detroit; and the reaction of local communities to the Enbridge Mackinac pipeline have sparked debates about racism, environmental justice and water as a basic human right. This collection attempts to capture the dialogue about access to clean water taking place on websites and social media between government officials and community organizations.
