The Future of New Hampshire’s Water

As New Hampshire grows we’re learning more about the hazards facing water quantity, quality and infrastructure and are exploring new ways to combat them. Hydrologists, environmentalist, inventors, and water groups are working hard on this effort, thinking up new technologies, new ideas and new plans so we’ll have enough clean potable water for our future. We conclude our series by exploring the future of our state’s drinking water and what some in the state are doing about it.
