Water's Promise

Water today is undervalued, misused and misallocated. Too many of us take it for granted - we turn on the tap and it flows.

But did you know only 4% of Earth’s water is freshwater and only 0.5% of that is safe for human consumption? As shocks of drought and deluge unleash their devastation, water has forced itself to center stage. It demands that we change fundamentally; it asks that we value it profoundly.

1. I watched this video a while ago and  watched it again today.  We have now passed World Water Day and I am asking myself  "What has happened to make a real difference since then?  We have Tweeted, Talked, Texted, Blogged and FaceBooked. Who is actually acting, implementation and making a difference?"

   Imagine the results if ALL the organizations in the field were to follow the example of the "one" man @AfroShaz  (and all that helped him) and took action and cleaned an entire beach. We combine all our solutions together with other organizations for a complete water solution -  naturally reducing, treating, recycling and reusing water. Now those are results that would Change our World!

   1. Thank you Trudi. You have raised a very good point with regards to getting the stakeholders to work together and the shareholders. We are hoping to be a part of the change, even if it is one small project at a time. I  am enjoying  the Water Network group.

   2. Hi Donna, In my opinion the issue is getting diverse stakeholders to work together, as you say "all".  Traditionally not done. Businesses if focused only on shareholder value are not driven to create social value- evidence the tainted failure of CSR. The associations, NGOs and GOs tend to stay to themselves and speak different languages than the business world. This is why we started The Water Network- it does start with dialogue, and knowledge sharing. Action may need only be to reach out to ask a question, or share a case study. I believe that change will come from the individual professionals - like you ; ) . Let us know how we can support you.

2. We must respect water which is valuable resource and its abuse will turned the life off , we continued these water misused practices by all of us.  Water is life and sanitation is dignity
