When it rains in Ishir Hazarika’s hometown of Berkeley Heights, streets turn into fast-moving rivers. Water gushes out of manholes and toilets in basements overflow.  In the summer of 2023, Hazarika created a video that showed the devastating effects of flooding in the township as an intern for the mayor’s office. After town officials showed the video to their Congressional representatives in Washington, Berkeley Heights received $2 million to upgrade the municipal sewer system.
