The Navajo Nation spans over 27,000 square miles across Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Many Navajo residents live far from water lines, with 30% of homes lacking running water. Those without access often rely on hauled water from contaminated wells or expensive bottled water. Dilkon Chapter, in the southwestern part of the Navajo Nation, faces significant water access challenges, with 24% of residents living in homes without plumbing. DigDeep, the only non-governmental organization active in the area, is working to provide piped water connections for 50 homes.
