Amidst the floods in America

the water crisis is visible. People are seen affected by this in many states. People in the US capital of Mississippi wait in queues to drink, bathe, cook and flush toilets. That's because the city's water system was partially damaged earlier this week after long-standing problems at one of two water-treatment plants following Pearl River floods. 

Queues for bottled water

Seven new distribution sites opened Thursday to deliver bottled water to people without clean tap water since the city's long-disturbed treatment plant failed. While people in Jackson are forced to line up at distribution sites and grocery stores for bottled water. The plant was shut down on Monday night due to complications of recent flood waters.
