The Mission
Welcome to “Urban Hydration,” a website dedicated to improving access to healthy and sustainable water for visitors and residents in New York City. I am a participant at Living City Project, working to improve New York City's resilience and public health by providing a Map of Drinking Fountains and ways to Get Involved.
By investing in public water fountains, cities and communities can address critical health challenges, promote sustainability, and ensure equitable access to a fundamental resource: clean drinking water. These benefits make public fountains a vital part of public infrastructure.
