waterloop #66: Kathryn Lucero on Progress for Colonias on the U.S.-Mexico Border

Kathryn Lucero is Community Environmental Management Specialist at Communities Unlimited.

In this episode Kathryn talks about colonias, the Spanish word for neighborhood, which is used in reference to residential areas along the U.S.-Mexico border that often have substandard housing and lack basic infrastructure such as water. She discusses how efforts of the past 20 years have brought drinking water to a large percentage of colonias, including where she works in Texas. Kathryn explains the benefits for people physically, socially, and economically when they have water services in colonias.
