About

When water comes rushing out of the tap, seemingly clear and perfect, it’s easy to think we’ve got it figured out. It’s hard to imagine that the underground labyrinth that brings us drinking water, and takes away our dirty sewage, is old, crumbling and in real trouble. Quench your thirst for knowledge and drama as we dive into the strangely fascinating world of clean water. Hosted by Jed Kim, In Deep is a new podcast from American Public Media’s The Water Main.

The mission of the Water Main is to build public will in support of clean, accessible, affordable water. We define public will as “a willingness and an ability to take action”.

Social science research on the topic of public will is still emergent, but points to at least three critical ingredients: knowledge, connection, and concern.

To better understand Americans’ public will for water, the Water Main partnered with the APM Research Lab to conduct the first nationally representative survey designed to measure Americans’ knowledge, connection, concern, and action related to water issues facing the country.

“Everybody cares about water. Our task now is to provide Americans with tailored pathways toward meaningful impact.”
