Save one of the earth’s most precious resources: Clean water

About two billion people are living in water-stressed area in the world. One third of people in Africa are now suffering from lack of water and everyday die more people from water borne diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, which are directly transmitted when contaminated fresh water is consumed, than HIV or Malaria put together.

The fact is that we are running out of clean water. We pollute our surface water, pump out the ground water and taking water from wilderness into big cities where it is not returned to watershed but dumped into the ocean. In short, we are interrupting the hydrologic cycle and creating massive amount of dessert.
