Water… it’s the source of all life. 70 percent of the planet is covered in it, and more than half of your body is made up of it. We use water everyday to refresh, revive, to subsist… yet, water resources are growing increasingly scarce around the world and access to potable water is
alarmingly difficult in some regions.
In this edition, we look at some core water issues affecting people around the world, including privatization, access to clean water, desalination technology, bottled water debates, and non-point source pollution.
