Abstract

In the US, access to fresh water has historically built wealth for advantaged, mostly White communities, whereas communities of color are disproportionately burdened by degraded water quality and infrastructure disinvestments. As sustainability scientists aim to ameliorate these inequities, they must center historical context, synthetic thinking, and co-development with community partners.
