In this episode of the ICC Pulse Podcast, we explore ways we can solve water challenges in the United States. How does the size of the pipes behind my walls have anything to do with water conservation? How does climate change affect the septic tanks and other private sewage disposal systems in many backyards? And what can we learn from Israel about how we treat and value water?
