In celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, ASCE has launched an interactive StoryMap highlighting the transformative role of water and wastewater infrastructure in advancing public health, driving economic growth, and enabling urban development. Through compelling historical examples, the StoryMap illustrates how civil engineering innovations helped reduce disease, improve quality of life, and support the growth of thriving communities across the nation. Explore the ingenuity behind the infrastructure that shaped modern America and discover how engineering helped lay the foundation for the country’s rise as a global leader.
Explore the StoryMap: Flowing Forward: How Water Infrastructure Shaped Modern America.
This is ASCE’s fourth ArcGIS StoryMap, following the release of Infrastructure is Everywhere last year and Ground-Level Resiliency and Grading the States earlier this year.
