Guess what caused Jackson, Mississippi's water crisis"...Torrential rains caused the Pearl River to overflow its banks and overwhelm the area. Their water and sewage treatment plants were inundated and the city was placed under a boil-water advisory that was only lifted a few days ago.

You might be tempted to blame it on the sudden, prolonged surge of rain.
Or you could point the finger at the floods themselves or an inadequate drainage system.
None of those things were the cause.
Would you care to guess the real reason?
