NY Times: The Problem Is Clear: The Water Is Filthy

The New York Times ran an article on Nov. 13 about Seville, Calif., a small town in a heavily agricultural section of the state that is suffering from contaminated drinking water.

The article talks about how dirty water affects people in many parts of their daily lives - at home, at school, in caring for themselves.

This is the type of community that RCAP assists - small, rural, often minority and often living below the poverty line.
