My inspiring water project is Water For People. Their main mission is to treat people equally and giving them clean and save water.

Where I was watching water for people there's this guy who really inspire me. Ned Breslin, he is the CEO of water for people, he made a water pump…

Water crisis_04_Act

Every German uses about 162 litre of water during the day. That means depicted a filled bathtub. One single toilet flush in the industrialised countries consumes as much water as one person in a developing country has at his/her disposal for washing, drinking and cooking per day. So this facts put me in a refelctive mood. One way of responding to this could be the use of special water-saving toilets and showers, repair of seals and use of rainwater could be only some small improvements.…

Water crisis_04_Imagine

If I have to imagine about 'Happy World Water Day 2020' I see a big event around the globe. I would like to suggest that similar activities are happening at the same day to the same time on every continent. That means at least 7 and not exceeding 14 events (=2 for one continent).

First of all famous people are needed who support this event. At all locations there would be a big concert which is free of cost for everyone. Participants need only to take over a…

Collecting Rainwater on a Finca in Spain

More than 16 years ago my uncle emigrated to Spain. He is now living on a big finca (estate/ parcel of land) together with his family, friends and animals. They are trying to find a harmonic way of living in nature. When I read this week's mission, I instantly thought of Jochen, a friend of my uncle who is living on this "farm" since a few years. Last year he had the idea of creating a system of hollows where he wants to save rainwater. With the collected water they want to supply the…

Clean Water in a bag?

While searching in the internet for intersting clean water projects i found a very ineteresting approach which is basically just a bag.

With this bag you are able to clean the non drinking water an change it into drinking water. Even heavy metals can be filtered.

I think it's an very interesting approach because it is easy. You just need this bag and you can filter your water make it clean within 8 to 12 hours. I think it's a good approach for the wh*** world as a major problem are…

water

Water.org Projects has a very effective way of approach this problem. They dont only choose to help out much needed areas by simply providing them with clean water, but also educate the residence in the certain area about how to keep water clean and how to properly operate the water systems. Educating people is always one of the most effective steps to solving problems like these.

That was a great idea on using a play pump to get water. Another idea is to collect water when it rains or filter water from the ocean.

That was a great idea on using a play pump to get water. What can also be done is using filters for water when it rains.

act 4

An organization i would join would be the person who invented the life straw. Why? So far to me its about the best invention for clean water. Many kids die each year because they do not have access to clean water. A way to save water they should have some sort of inspector that goes to every house to see if they have a leak. Leaks is one of the biggest waste of water. One single drop every day can lead to losing gallons of water everyday.

The life straw is one of the best ways to get clean water. Its like a big straw with a filter inside to filter in clean water. So basically you are drinking safe water even though it looks very dirty and filled with deceases. There is also the family life straw which is bigger and can filter about 16,000 liters of clean water for your family.
