The Gulf Coast crisis reminds us of the most critical resource we have -- fresh water for drinking.
"Clean drinking water shouldn't be that big of a problem in a developed country like the United States," said Dr. Eric A. Weiss, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Stanford University Medical Center. "This is not like places in Africa where water is always rare and something you have to struggle for. We should be able to get fresh drinking water to these individuals in a timely fashion."
