Flint, Michigan, residents have been drinking contaminated water for over a year. In April 2014, emergency managers switched the city from the Detroit water system to Flint River as a cost saving measure until a pipeline from Lake Huron would be completed. The new water source released dangerous levels of lead from pipes and has been linked to other contaminents.

Obama declared a state of emergency and several officials have resigned while others are under pressure to do so. As environmental justice controversies swirl, this Social Explorer activity highlights who was impacted the most by the dangerous water, with a focus on children (the most susceptible to lead), income and race.
