Crowd the Tap is an EPA-funded project that promotes access to safe drinking water by assisting you to discover what pipe materials deliver drinking water to your home: steel? cooper? plastic? lead? No matter what types of pipes are in your water system, Crowd the Tap will help you report the types of pipes you have to help build an inventory of drinking water pipe infrastructure across the nation. This is the first step towards ensuring safe drinking water for all. Join us online for an introduction to citizen science, to learn more about summer reading, and to learn how to participate in this citizen science project through a presentation and online Q&A. Meet Caren Cooper of the Crowd the Tap project during this virtual event. She’ll be in conversation with Lauren Kratz, Children's Librarian at the Studio City Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. Join us on Zoom and submit your own questions on the Q&A/Chat features during the event. This event is supported by the Studio City Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, the Network of the National of Libraries of Medicine, All of Us, and SciStarter.
