Water For People helps people in developing countries improve quality of life by supporting the development of locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities, and hygiene education programs.

Around the world, 884 million people do not have access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion are without adequate sanitation facilities. Every day, nearly 6,000 people who share our planet die from water-related illnesses, and the vast majority are children.

But the real…

Like many tribes did in ages past, we will do again. As they called for rain, so shall we. As they gathered in needed, we will gather in remembrance.

Evoke agents from around the world will gather in various public places to perform rain dances from their cultural histories. Onlookers will have the opportunity to consider the importance of water in our lives; hopefully, they will be able to imagine a time when public works that brought water to us at the turn of a dial were…

Together with Urban Water Works, DaVinci Arts Middle School initiated a program which aims to educate students and citizens about storm water runoff and water quality. The DaVinci project reroutes storm water runoff from roofs and parking lots, into cisterns and a 7,200 square foot water garden, and was designed and built by the students, teachers and parents of this school. The system includes a system of cisterns, pond, constructed wetland, and bioremediation swale that collects, cleans…

I would arrange an event in the larger cities over the world with so many celebrities and important personalities as possible in order to call attention and advertise this event. The event should include concerts, something to drink and to eat, whereas the people should pay for food and drink. Besides there should be plays like: “transport a water bowl on a particular route like the women and children have to do in poor rural communities”, in order to show the people what physical hardship…

It's the year 2020 and we are celebrating the new invention of energy generation. It is called "the living electricity".

Just like human beings breath in air and live. The electric equipments of 2020, breath in air and produce energy, just enough to power them up. Think of any electricity equipment (the phone, laptop, ipods, bulbs, iron boxes). Each of these is equipped with an inhaler device that takes in oxygen and produces electricity.

No need of cables and those electric wires…

Water is one of the most important resource we have, whether it is used for nutrition, health and hygiene. People must be able to get easily to the resource. Water is vital for the human body. Without water caused diseases. The lack of hygiene can result in epidemics and other diseases break out. This water is of particular importance for health. Whether it is from the perspective of nutrition, or even from the perspective of disease.

I have found this video and i think it's important…

It's everywhere and it's free. I think it could be applied in very small terms, perhaps a strip of material in the crotch of your pants or an armpit, nothing overly noticeable (even within the fabric itself!) but something to amplify and store a natural occurring process. Or how about up here in Canada come winter time, when you rub your gloves together to warm your hands you actually store the charge? perhaps even the energy from the force of your hands pressing against one…

Recently, I read an article on the LifeStraw. Basically, this invention is a cheap way to provide a person living in an underdeveloped area to have clean drinking water for one year. The straw is sized for a person to carry on them and use as needed.

This is not, however, sustainable in the long run, but for the immedate problem, it's an excellent patch.…

Well I have to admit that this isn't just a project, but it's an entire organization, which fights for clean water in the wh*** world. Health. Education. Food security, the lives of women, especially depends on clean water. They help countries all over the world. You can donate money to support so many projects. You can't fight just one crisis. So normally I'm not for donations in general, but I like the idea to support more projects.

You can check out this map, to find out where your…

Clean water is essential for life, but one in eight of the world’s population does not have access to it. As a result there are 1.6 million diarrhoeal deaths every year related to unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene. The vast majority among children under five.

It is common knowledge that boiling, using charcoal, kerosene or firewood can make water safe to drink. But it is not as widely known that UV light also kills micro-organisms. Solvatten is a specially designed container that…

Toilet Tank Sinks save water by combining the sink with the toilet tank and combining the plumbing. The cold water comes straight from the pipes but when it runs down the drain, the dirty water from washing hands is stored in the toilet tank and used to flush the toilet. This simple but significant change can make a huge difference in household water usage. “That’s where most of our waste goes,” said Fitzpatrick. The sink can also be rigged to drain into the toilet bowl.

This system was…

During my research i discovered the business concept of Ramon Hansmeyer.

His idea is filtering of unclean water with the aid of

nano-water filtering systems

This system is not larger than a 2 litre PET bottle as seen in this picture.…

Nearly two thirds of the earth are covered with water. As about 97% of the water is salt water, there's only a relative small amount of water which is drinkable for the human population. In addition, the United Nations say that "more people die and suffer from the lack of access to safe drinking water and to basic sanitation than from war" which also underlines the enormous importance of fighting against the water scarcity of which millions of people are affected.…

I found an interesting invention in mexico. They uses large sails to catch fog and produce water out of it. This water is used for their farms from where, in the early morning, new fog starts to rise up against the sails.
