Is it too much to ask for Americans to have access to clean water in 2020?

The Guardian - in partnership with Consumer Reports and others - is launching a one-year series of investigations highlighting the US water crisis

Almost exactly 10 years ago, on 28 July 2010, the United Nations declared water a human right under international law. And not just any water, but clean water - and sufficient water for drinking, personal sanitation, washing of clothes, food preparation, personal and household hygiene".

Imagine a country where, 10 years years on, over two million people are denied access to running water and basic indoor plumbing.
