World Water Day
Via the UN comes a day for us to note the role of potable water and sanitation throughout the world. We in New England are blessed with an abundance of freshwater, but other parts of the US are beginning to face real shortages where competing interests are clashing. More posts to come on particulars.
At the world level comes this note…..768 million people lack access to improved water sources & 2.5 billion have no improved sanitation. #WorldWaterDay
The picture frames some of the problems parts of the world face, and what struck home was the use of an active voice for the picture….the picture is courtesy of the Barka Foundation serving in Burkina Faso in Africa.
Great series on water in the SW US.

The water remembers what WE have done. It may not easily forgive and surely will not forget.
