“World Water Day, on 22 March every year, is about taking action to tackle the water crisis. Today, 1.8 billion people use a source of drinking water contaminated with faeces, putting them at risk of contracting cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio.
Water is at the core of sustainable development. Water resources, and the range of services they provide, underpin poverty reduction, economic growth and environmental sustainability. From food and energy security to human and environmental health, water contributes to improvements in social well-being and inclusive growth, affecting the livelihoods of billions.” – UN.org

Water is life! The loss of many of our wetlands natural purification had an impact here also! My dad built his house with this in mind and all waste water goes through a rock marsh in an wetland setting and end up in a pond the water was and is tested and potable standards self-purification lot’s of plants and reeds etc…Thanks for this reminder! 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂
