water

While painting flowing water, I couldn't help but think of all the benefits we have from potable water. How can I neglect the happiness and chance I have of not missing it each day? Maybe in the future it could be a world problem. Its lack already causes the death of 15 persons in the world every 60 seconds!!! I believe there are 1.1 billion people who miss potable water, and 2.4 billion suffer from deficient hygiene and hydric diseases due to water needs. Diseases such as cholera, typhoid, hepatitis, malaria, diarrhea, and so on are directly concerned with water scarcity. That's why potable water is and stays for the coming years the prime humanitarian urgency. Last 22 March was International Day of Water. But here in Europe I didn't see much about the subject. It seems to be overwhelmed by the social disorders in France with the strikes around the promulgation of their PCE (prime employment contract) and the collection for the fight against Sida. In Belgium, the government loses time in quarreling about French and Dutch communes around Brussels, inserts new dangerous airways to fly above the capital to divide flight trajectories between the Dutch and French populations, and equilibrates the budget by submitting severe budgetary pressure to the working-class people. What a slosh??? I'm thinking this time of all the victims of water with the tsunami, the hurricanes, and the inundations. It's time to wake up and take cognizance of humanity. We are all embarked on the same ship, and we have to fight all together in the same way!!!
