7.My focus on individual memories is in no way a call to undervalue either the importance of scientific measurement or the reach of SDWA in protecting both public and environmental health. The SDWA has been crucial for protecting communities at risk of health impacts: for example, the application of SDWA in the case of the Flint city water system in Michigan in the United States highlights the importance of this law in protecting the health of disenfranchised social groups.

8.In part, this race to disconnect community water systems is rooted in misunderstandings about appropriate measures of tropical water quality which add to the perceived notion of risky water, something I discuss elsewhere. See Javier Arce-Nazario, “The Science and Politics of Water Quality,” in The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Physical Geography, ed. Rebecca Lave, Christine Biermann, and Stuart N. Lane. (London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), 465–83.
