The Quantity of Our Water in New Hampshire

New Hampshire is growing and that means new strains on our water supply. Some complain of soaring water prices along with old infrastructure and strict quality standards. Now some communities are looking to develop “water plans”. We explore how much water we have and use, who uses it and what some are doing to make sure we have enough water.
