Dr. Martin Kaufman, David M. French Professor of Earth Science at the University of Michigan-Flint, talks about the challenges facing communities with older water infrastructure.

Kaufman presents the results of recent efforts to map the lead-based water infrastructure in Flint, Michigan, using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and the use of these maps to generate additional research inquiry. Linkages between hazard identification and hazard response during an environmental crisis are also explored.
