A GLOBAL ISSUE- ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

3/29/2013

Water is the driving force of all nature." 
- Leonardo da Vinci 
One of the most formidable dilemmas facing many countries around the world is lacking access to clean water supplies. However this global crisis can be resolved as we make efforts to analyze the demand of tourism and its’ influence on water usage, finance and thereby provide access to sanitized water sources, create amendments that will ensure water as a human right, and alleviate the biases of gender responsibilities on water retrieval. These criterion entail the barometers and objectives of many organizations as well as individuals; in hopes for promoting the equity and likewise equality of accessible clean water supplies in all countries both large and small, developed and developing.

Justin:

Thank you for finding and using the very moving video on Dirty Water in Africa. Everywhere I have traveled internationally, I have seen such terrible water conditions. We have so much in America that we often do not appreciate the clean water that we have so easily in our homes. If you wish to spearhead a project to increase awareness on the need for clean water, please know you have my support. On my blog today I feature the efforts to bring water treatment plants to the villages along the Amazon and Napo Rivers in Peru. It only takes $1800 to build a new treatment plant that will provide clean water for an entire village. It would seem that $1800 is very little money that can have such an amazing impact.

Justin, as I was reviewing everyone's blogs in our class, I came across yours that would likely relate to my topic of natural disasters in Southeast Asia. It best relates by the necessary need for clean water and I believe the need for that water after any kind of natural disasters. I'm not sure if you have a specific region but this can also relate over in Southeast Asia too. An organization that might be supportive in your cause would be www.onedrop.org. I don't know if you've already researched with them but it's an idea. If you would like to work together on any future awareness, check out my blog at www.prtnaturaldisastersinsoutheastasia.blogspot.com. Thank you!

Justin,

first I wanna say that I like you title as indeed, there is indeed a water CRISIS in our world today!

It is hard to believe as so often we just go through our daily lives just thinking about #1, without realizing that so much of the world is in need of the things that we rarely take the time to THINK about, much less count blessings for.

I am encouraged by your zeal in your topic as personally I have often thought that in my own efforts that they are futile and all but without impact. I enjoy so much your optimism and thorough efforts.

As per your topic, I wanted to recommend this video from a TED talk that I saw a while ago and thought it would apply here:

I think this is quite good.

    As a travel enthusiast and ambassador I have always had a passion for equality and helping others.

    ​Therefore, I created this campaign in order to better educate people on how they can contribute towards helping people in Africa have access to clean water supplies.
