What would your day look like without water?
No morning coffee. No showers. No clean hospitals, thriving businesses, healthy waterways, or reliable fire protection.
Water powers nearly every part of our lives, but delivering it safely and reliably takes thoughtful planning, resilient infrastructure, and dedicated people working behind the scenes.
This Imagine a Day Without Water, DEA recognizes our water professionals and clients like Springfield Utility Board (SUB). In this photo, SUB staff works with DEA’s bathymetric surveying team to help better understand the river. Working together, we help communities protect this essential resource, sustain healthy watersheds, and prepare their water systems for the future.
Because a day without water affects everything.
