Water is one of the most basic of all needs - we cannot live for more than a few days without it. And yet, most people take water for granted. We waste water needlessly and don't realize that clean water is a very limited resource.

Over 2 million people die each year because of unsafe water - and most of them are children!

I believe water will be the defining crisis of our century — from droughts, storms, and floods to degrading water quality.
