Found another interesting website/charity today, Water Partners International. It's generally the same facts, but it's in a concise and specific area to locate them. I cannot verify any of the information, but that's always the problem. I'm not sure where these citations are coming from. So take some information with a grain of salt (like every 15 sec a child dies from water related causes). But we're still facing a serious problem of water scarcity and my hesitance to accept information as fact without reliable sources in no way degrades the issue at hand; water scarcity, sanitation, & quality is a huge problem, especially for 2009 for many countries.
Charity: Water drilled the first new well in Ethiopia from fund raising from Twestival (Twitter + festival), raising $250,000. You can watch a few videos and find more information on Charity: Water's website, over here.
Circle of Blue had a couple of interesting articles, from indigenous traditions to water wars in Asia to megadroughts.
Speaking about Charity: Water, their awareness bracelets came today. Pretty cool lookin', I have to say. I have a bunch of them, so I'll be handing them out to those that want one.
