Water - We depend on it

Image
About 60% of our body is made of water. Every child learns this in school but people forget this truth very fast, especially when they open the tap of the kitchen or rest room and water magically appears. We forget that for the water to come inside our home or office a huge chain of natural and artificial process must occur. Basically the natural process involves evaporation, rain, winds - called hydrological cycle - and artificial processes that involve water extraction, purification and distribution. The Hydrologic Cycle But this cycle has been broken. The water pollution, global warming, waste, corporations and very bad government management are destroying this such important natural resource. In 2010 an ONU resolution defined water as a right of human beings. This resolution put pressure on governments around the world to develop water projects for poorest people and taking care of water pollution. But a resolution isn’t sufficient to protect our water!
