The U.S. Geological Survey has released its National Water Availability Assessment with data backing a national water shortage.
The survey suggests that roughly 30 million people have lived in communities with limited surface water supplies in the last decade.
The Geological Survey says the new report includes first-of-its-kind insights, taking into account both the supply and demand of water. The group’s assistant director for Water Resources says the data collected may help inform policy to address water resources concerns.
