Tedx - Water, Justice & Sustainability
June 7th, 2014
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The Alto Río Laja Aquifer (a.k.a the “Independence Aquifer”) in central Mexico is in a permanent state of decline and contaminated with toxic levels of arsenic and fluoride, which has led to irreversible health complications like dental & crippling skeletal fluorosis in local communities. The seriousness of this overexploitation and pollution of surface and groundwater, and it's impact on people and ecosystems, reaches far beyond regional boundaries with both national and global consequences.
