A complex web of extreme events, such as devastating floods in some areas and severe water scarcity in others, are increasingly characterizing the global water crisis. This situation is made worse by the sneaky contamination of water sources with "forever chemicals" that do not decompose in the environment. A complex issue necessitating immediate action to guarantee access to clean, safe water for all populations is created by this pollution and the considerable water loss that occurs during delivery to customers as a result of aging infrastructure. Climate change is causing an increase in extreme events like floods and droughts, leading to unpredictable water availability. Water scarcity is also increasing, especially in areas with high population density and agricultural demands. Persistent organic pollutants like PFAS are contaminating water supplies, posing health risks due to their non-biodegradability. Inefficient infrastructure and leaky pipes contribute to significant...
