Our water supply indicates that water collection and distribution is one of the key issues of our time. We must work as a cooperative unit to ensure that everyone in the world has access to clean water. Far more attention and action are required on to address managing water as we are way behind! If we work as a community and globally, we should be able to ensure that everyone has clean drinking water and adequate water for living.  We have listed several organizations below that are working hard to ensure just that.

Ingenious ways of capturing water from the air are popping up all over and great strides are being made in the field of Seawater Desalination to meet the needs of the world where freshwater is in short supply. Check out our page on Seawater Desalination for information and resources on that vital industry that can help so many. By desalinating water, we are cleaning it at the same time through filtration, thus removing the harmful bacteria and viruses that can affect so many negatively. See our page on Cleaning Our Water for more ideas.

For those situated in areas prone to drought, it is a great idea to place a bucket in your sink, shower, or bathtub, to collect the water running until the desired temperature is achieved and then use the water in the bucket to feed your garden or lawn. You will also find how-to videos and articles below on reusing grey water in the home which is becoming more and more necessary in areas prone to drought and should be adapted by many now to preserve our freshwater reserves around the world.

No one should go without water in a world with so much water. We can do this! We can start by doing our part on an individual level in small ways to contribute to the solution of water for all.

We applaud groups such as Water Aid and others listed below who are doing their part on an international basis. WaterAid’s Mission: “WaterAid transforms lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene, and sanitation in the world’s poorest communities. We work with partners and influence decision-makers to maximize our impact.”

Harvesting water from the air via various innovative techniques as linked below is one of the most exciting and promising methods of sourcing water when there are no sources readily available.
