😤 Cities often face crises due to the inaction of their national governments. For Montevideo, it was the water crisis. Uruguay was caught unprepared by a three-year-long drought and poor water management. When Montevideo's reservoirs dried up, the city relied on data to ensure everyone had access to clean water. 📺Clear, reliable and transparent daily updates on water quality and access points helped the city prevent a health crisis, avoid social conflicts and ensure equitable distribution among residents, essential services and businesses. Montevideo showed how #CitiesSolveCitiesDeliver, working to ensure residents' right to clean drinking water in a crisis. #UrbanPulse Intendencia de Montevideo | Guzmán Robaina Da Silva | Gabriela Pignataro
