Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project

  • On the Navajo Nation, officials say about a third of people don't have access to clean water. Back in 2009, Congress authorized a massive infrastructure project designed to address this by bringing water to more than 250,000 people, from the San Juan river. But it's not done and Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren is asking Congress to authorize five more years' work, and increase the budget.
