Tapping into risk in America's drinking water
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon developed the first publicly accessible Drinking Water Utilities Climate Risk Index for the United States, a comparative tool that measures the risks drinking water systems face from climate events like droughts, floods, and extreme heat. By cross-referencing 1,455 medium and large water utilities across the country with what those utilities reported in their bond disclosures, or financial documents that show investors the risks associated with lending money to these utilities, the study finds a gap between the actual climate risk and the risk reported in their disclosures.
