World Water Day Video from charity: water

March 22nd is World Water Day.

More than 1 billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water. For $20 a person, non-profit charity: water funds clean water solutions like shallow wells, deep wells, rainwater harvesting systems, and spring protections to provide people in need with clean and safe drinking water.

Find out how you can help give one person clean drinking water at http://www.charitywater.org/donate

charity: water's latest promo video features the well-drilling work we fund in the forgotten Central African Republic. Directed by Simon Willows, "Time Bomb" track donated by Beck.

I always worry when I donate to charities like this. If you do this, give these people a well, is it going to lead to an increase in their population? The reason there is trouble is that there are too many people living in an area which can't support them. So what then? We have two villages instead of one, and again we have trouble. So we give them another well? How about they control their population instead. I have seen what the population growth in Africa is like.

on my last 3 month indoor grow cycle, i used less then 700 liters of water to grow 6 cannabis plants (3 sativas & 3 indicas). these 6 plants have lasted me just about 6 months which comes out to less then 4 liters a day.

we are in a time of water shortage, which "vice" or "choice" is better for the planet???

Every cent of your $20 will go to well building. All of our administrative costs (salaries, flights, etc) are taken care of by private donors.

How easy it is for the rest of us to take our water for granted - all we have to do is turn on a tap and yet we still find a way to complain ....

If you were really a "Thought Criminal" you would realize that the U.N. has little control over actual policy, you would realize that Africa has been destroyed due to Corporate Colonialism spawned by Colonial Divide and Conquer Techniques from the 1800s, and that the "Zionists" have about as much to do with world situations as any other ethnic group.

Do yourself a favor and read more Orwell than just 1984. Try Road to Wigan's Pier or Coming up for Air. Orwell will set you straight.

You're wrong. Fresh water is deposited in either the surface or ground through atmospheric transport powered by the sun. Once water returns to the sea, it immediately becomes saline and the Laws of Thermodynamics require a given amount of work to reduce the Entropy of the saline to create pure water vapour which eventually becomes rain.

But this is limited by the Earth's natural freshwater making process. So while you can't waste water, you can definitely waste freshwater. Basic physics here.

Damm...you are right
