Swimming pools of the rich make cities thirsty

Rich elites with large swimming pools and well-maintained lawns are leaving poorer communities without basic access to water in cities across the world. New research, led by Uppsala University, published in Nature Sustainability has found social inequalities are driving urban water crises more than environmental factors, such as climate change or the growth of urban populations.

Rika eliter med stora pooler och välskötta gräsmattor berövar fattigare grupper grundläggande tillgång till vatten i städer runt om i världen.
