“Chapter 18 of Make Water Your Business is about a quiet shift: communities no longer waiting for federal or utility-level data and instead running their own testing, their own sensors, their own science. From Flint's parent-led lead maps to open-source water-quality networks, decentralized water science is how affected communities stopped begging for answers and started producing them. This chapter names the people doing it.”
