Answer 1

Answer) In April 2014, the people were facing problem with the water coming through taps. The tap water was contaminated with amounts of lead. This was in the flint city of michigan. Lead in the water was because of the very old lead pipes

This city was very poor consist of african american population. They started complaining about the foul smelling of the water to the government but the government was not taking any action against it. Due to the lead poisoning in water 12 people from the city died and many got harmed. They forced government for 18 months to admit the fact of lead poisoning in water.

This happened because of the negligence of infrastructure and erosion of democracy. They recalls the story of flint’s poisoned water which harmed the people of the city
