AquaHacking 2020 B.C. Challenge - Water Issue - Potable Water in Indigenous communities

How can we improve access to clean drinking water for Indigenous communities in B.C.?
Indigenous communities throughout Canada lack access to clean and safe drinking water. These diverse communities (urban and rural) rely on water systems that are vulnerable to pollution and contamination from resource development, upstream industry use, agriculture, resource extraction, septic, or other pollutants. Problems with water quality testing and treatment are also common throughout Western Canada. Each community and water system is different, but the critical issue of living with on-going boil water advisories is shared. Solutions need to be found to improve water testing and treatment in order to realize basic human rights for Indigenous Peoples in Canada and address the disproportionate lack of clean drinking water.
