Clean drinking water was the most desperate demand on the Gulf
Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina was announced. It killed thousands of people, and left 50% of the population homeless.
The state was left as an unrecognizable mess, and this wasn't the end of it. The aftermath may have been worse then the
destrucation itself. The state was underwater, with thousands of dead bodies undiscovered, only left to toxicate the water.
Thus making severe complications for the people of New Orleans.
Several questions arose afterwards. One of the most significant and severe topics was "What state
was the water quality actually in? How was the remaining population going to survive? How long would it take until everything
blows over?" Despite these unanswered questions in August, steps were taken to fix the problems since then. On
