New York City is home to around 8 million people and it is one of the most densely populated cities in the world.  Surrounded by iconic waterways, New York quickly became a valuable trading port and established itself as an iconic city.  

Despite the strategic gold mine that New York is in terms of resources and money, New York struggles to provide basic water needs to its residents.  Ironically, the city gets its water from upstate New York and Delaware.  The infrastructure needed to provide a city of 8 million people is commonly susceptible to contamination.  The miles of huge tunnels has devastating effects on the surrounding environment.  And New York hasn't even bothered to fix the huge water source right next to them: the Hudson River.  

Without any action, millions of New Yorkers will continue to suffer from water contamination and surrounding ecosystems will be affected from the intensive infrastructure to transport water.
