<p><span>In August 2017, one trillion gallons of water fell on the Houston area over a four-day period - by far the most rainfall in US history.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/08/hurricane-harvey-texas-threat-170826105309081.html">Hurricane Harvey</a> hit everyone in <span>Houston, Texas, which is one of the most diverse but segregated cities in the US.Â </span>But now that the water has receded, will there be an equal recovery?</p>
<p><span>A month after Harvey hit - after the media moved on to new stories - Fault Lines travelled to Houston to see if the storm will deepen the city's social and economic divide. </span></p>

</div>
<p><span>Dr Robert Bullard, who is known as the father of the environmental justice movement, has found that minority neighbourhoods are more at risk of industrial pollution.</span></p>
<p><span>"It's ok to put a landfill, an incinerator, or a garbage dump, a refinery in black and brown communities," he told Fault Lines. "If you look at and map vulnerability and proximity of these dangerous facilities, they're not randomly distributed â¦ Race is the most potent factor that determines where these facilities are located."</span></p>
<p><span>Many plants in the Houston area have reported spills or leaks during Harvey, affecting several low-income and minority neighbourhoods. These neighbourhoods have fewer resources to help them</span>Â recover after a natural disaster like Harvey.</p>
<p>If the aftermath of Harvey is anything like that of Hurricane Katrina, which <a href="http://america.aljazeera.com/watch/shows/live-news/articles/2015/8/25/10-years-since-hurricane-katrina-devastated-gulf-coast.html">struck New Orleans</a> in 2005, housing prices will go up, low-income residents will be pushed out, and inequality will grow.</p>
<p>Houston is already one of the most segregated cities in America, and it could get worse.</p>
<p>Billions of dollars in recovery aid are headed to Texas to rebuild, but it's unclear how much of that money will trickle down to those who need it the most.</p>
<p>"We're in a dogfight now, to make sure that resources get distributed in a way that's equitable," says Bullard.</p>
<p><span>"That's why I think it's important that low-income people and people of colour, working-class people, rich people, poor people - we all work on post-Harvey recovery in Houston and get it right."</span></p><p style="margin-top: 3em;"><span style="color: #8e8e8e !important;">Source:</span>Â <span style="color: #212121 !important;">Al Jazeera</span></p>
