FightingGourmet89200, yes. Why? Their water problems are due to corrosion of the infrastructure not the actual water source. Much of it is lead based and in desperate need of upgrades. Many municipalities of a certain age face the same challenge.

Player #2761473, This was exactly my thought. how can the state with the largest amount of clean, fresh drinking water poison so many? The corruption and greed of the US is beyond sick.

What about the poisoned water in Flynt.

Emeraldkat, The EPA is absolutely useless in protecting the environment. They only go after California farmers who wants to grow things on their lands.

Julia, I’m also from DETROIT, and lived Downriver for 60 years, Trenton. You never appreciate something so much until it’s gone. I’m in Texas now but Michigan is still home!!

Player #38618593, Hawaii is a volcanic set of islands, 90% of their "land mass %" is just hardened lava, not soil, rock which has fresh water sources unlike hardened lava.

Hawaii has that much fresh water? Rivers, lakes, ponds, etc.? I never would have guessed it.

They have all that water and the poor people of Flint, Michigan still ended up with bad water. So sad.

there's no doubt about it, we michiganders love our mitten! btw, the question asked for the state with the highest FRESH water to land ratio, not salt water, or dirty water, or how much of the water is polluted. go green, go white!

what about Florida's aquifer system? better to phrase the question "most surface freshwater to land ratio"

I picked Hawaii not knowing it would be that close of a toss up with Michigan. They are surrounded by the most clean water yet struggling to get clean drinking water due to all the corrosion, lead and other things in their water. This question had to be before all the bad stuff happened....and they still don't have clean drinking water. 🤬
