ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

[POPOLUV]

It is very obvious that with the 20 century there are still billions of people that lack safe water, sanitation and hygiene because of the air population all over the world, more especially those countries that are oil producing countries there water has been conterminated with oil spillage and there is know fatilize in the soil to grow crops like before, and constant borning of fire in several industries that needs the attention of the government to help the people leaving within the society but seems that government can't do anything to help people leaving around to make the environment look so clean and hygiene for drinking, the government fold there hands because those industry companies paid heavy tasks to the government, which result the increase of people who lack safely managed drinking water over 2.1 billions, 1.7 billions lack basic hygiene service at home  and 3.4 billions people are without safely managed sanitation which government failed to regulate properly in the air population which also reduces life spem.

My favorite current conspiracy theory (aliens aside) that nobody seems to be talking about is the coming manufactured water shortage.  The WEF is already pushing this as their next plan.  I believe Klaus Schwab was behind the DEI movement (and the conspiracy theory there is that he was behind the trans movement as well).  Peter Brabeck-Letmathe who was famous for saying water wasn't a human right has been added to the board and their new interim CEO said, "No water, no life. No sanitation, no dignity. No shelter, no security."

I believe with Klaus Schwab no longer running things, we are going to see a shift from DEI being rammed down our throat, to having clean drinking water being a privilege.  I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I have a feeling we will all know 10 years from now.  The best thing you could do as an individual to protect yourself would probably be to make sure you have your own well for water or invest in water stocks to make sure you can always afford to pay for premium water if things get out of hand.  One ticker symbol to look at might be AWK.

Also interesting is how Mr Beast is getting flamed online nonstop for building water wells in Africa.  Water will be the big story of the future, although it will probably take a while before regular folks notice.

Clean water is the tip. Wherever Monsanto's Glyphosate is used, there is a small amount of snake venom being introduced into nature. Not only that, but Monsanto and others have found a way to used e coli to manufacture venoms automatically. And they are spreading it where ever Glyphosate is used.

Sure clean water is a necessity. But shutting down Monsanto and similar companies is a MUST. Big Pharma is behind it, to slowly poison people so they go to the medical for cures. Guess who makes money.

Check with Dr. Ardis. The evidence is right out in the open, and Ardis shows how to understand it.

My community has experienced an oil spillage, which didn't just destroy water bodies but also the land and air. This has caused health problems, Job losses and other problems that relate to pollution became the order of the day.

The main issue now is that when these oil companies pay compensation for the damages, corrupt government officials and traditional rulers will syphon a large chunk of the money, and peanuts will be given to the main victims.

We cannot stop these exploration and industrial activities, but they should abide by global environmental safety standards. And when there are incidents of oil spillage, the necessary steps, such as providing an alternate source of water, environmental cleanup and compensation, should be carried out fairly and transparently.

The problem is that the community people might die of hunger because their farmlands have been polluted which will kill the crops and the river where these community people get drinking water is also polluted, killing aquatic animals and making the river unfriendly for fishing. I feel that the government are not the problem but our heads that represent us are the snakes and vipers.

The main occupation of people in this area is fishing and farming. Some of them had to migrate to urban areas to survive while others took to crime. I will continue to blame the government. You don't need to give community leaders money to distribute.  Clean up the mess, give the people an alternative source of income by building industries, and develop infrastructure. Financial benefits should be paid directly to the people after identity verification.

As a boy we had access to spring water which in basic school we were taught that it's among the best source of water. After a while when I got to a different location, tap water was introduced to us, although it wasn't healthy but that was the only option. At first, It didn't get me sick, but after much daily consumption of this kind of water I fell really sick and never went back to it, over the years I've stayed glued to spring water because my locality has lots of rock around and water easily flow through it non-stop.

In as much as, we should invest in drinking clean water, finding the right source is quite not easy for most people in different areas. There are places where after much drilling into the ground, in feets, water wouldn't flow, they have no choice than to relent or go back to drinking stream water, which isn't always healthy. The issue of water is a problem because the body could break down as a result of poor hygiene and pollution. In that case, steaming the water is by far the only way to retain a healthy drinking water from an unhealthy source.

[AVE5]

Of the truth the government or the authorities to whom it may concern with the gas refineries industries and the oil drilling system in some countries especially in Africa isn't managed properly prioritizing that healthy first before wealth. These mechanisms have effects of oil spillages on the soils which could cause infertility soils for plants and agricultures, unhealthy water for consumption and as well inhalation of polluted air which are all unhealthy for lives.
These mechanism pollution is also what has been responsible of the global warming on the climate changes with the hot temperature we experiences on the regular basis.

There are a lot of charities & organisations that work really hard to provide clean drinking water for people. First World countries spend a lot of money on aid but sadly it’s not enough, there are still many places on earth that inhabitants do not have access to clean water. It really shouldn’t be happening in modern times but sadly it is.

[Somto9Light]

My country is a typical example of this countries that is been affected by this oil spillage even to an extent that our crops don't yield good friut like before, and not only that people have been suffering from one sickness and the other and I'm pretty sure that those gas they're disposing out thier also have a hand in all this sickness that has been happening all this while. But the government did absolutely nothing about it, and the people that is been effected the most is those who are living in the village. Because the water we use in the city is well Refined,  that is why those who are living in the city always look strong and healthy they don't fall sick so easily why those who are in the village easily fall sick due to the fact that the environment they're living is not conducive for them.

[Felicity_Tide]

Nice thread Op. Not sure of what you meant by 20 century, but i want to assume that you meant 21st century, because that's the era that we're currently living, and so many countries still found themselves in the dark despite having the same solution to tackle their own problem. Water pollution is a very big problem in today's world despite with the advancement in technology, then you start to wonder the exact part of the world that sees this developments. The thing is, even without being told, i already know a few countries that suffer this problem of uncleaned water.

It's quite a shame that majority of the governments in those countries knows well about these issues, but they make it look like providing a clean water is a very big deal. You won't be surprised, making sure that people don't get access to clean water might literally be someone else's intention, probably just to see people suffer.

Yes, like the one that I have watched recently from Mr.Beast - Team Water. They're helping to provide clean water to communities and gets to do that with the aim to help people to have at least a clean and safe water to drink. The goal is to help 2M people to get water that's safe to drink and that's a good initiative because many of the content creators with huge following from different countries have come together and united in this one very purpose that Jimmy has initiated. It's not only about the clean water but also they did one before about cleaning sea.

the next technology/industry era will be desalination. and it will be lucrative. more so than solar

climate change is real and caused by humans,. but not in the normal hippy promoted way. of "carbon= global warming"
instead water streams into reservoirs, drains into pipes and we have urbanised land to not allow rainfall to just fall to the ground and evaporate back up in a water cycle then soiling the water with all the road waste and housewaste. after flowing through urban landscapes, sewerage plants which when a rainstorm happens those sewerage plants dont have things prepared and instead just push it all out unfiltered, sending soiled black/grey/brown water into nature of rivers and oceans. calling it "storm overflow"

so not only are things like gathering water into reservoirs which hinders how much can evaporate at the top of the water shed, the water is then soiled at the bottom
so not only affecting the water cycle which then produces less rain per year, but also reduces how much healthy clean water is available at the bottom

and continual negative spiral meaning clean drinking water from nature becomes less and less per year

..
this is going to result in new industry needing to push for desalination facilities to clean, filter and de-salt sea water ready for consumption. and because there is money in this industry, and to make this industry worth investing. they need to cut the competition(nature) out.
..
after hype of investing in solar, wind, gigafactories.. the next hype will be desalination.. its coming for your pockets
solar was a business of selling a couple panels and never seeing a customer again for 1-2 decades.. desalination is the bigger business of monthly bills or death

we need to bring back the normal water cycle
a. allow water to just flow over large land masses as thin puddle layers to give the sun time to evaporate it, not piped underground/ pushed into deep reservoirs
b. we need to allow excess water to soak into the land and keep the land alive and not turn baron(allow natural aquifers to replenish)
    -  this includes rainforests and lands that are not just sand/dust due to over farming/over grazing of domestic cattle/wild animals
c. we need governments to ensure sewerage plants are cleaning urbanised water, and utilising it ways to allow nature to evaporate it back into the water cycle

Desalination is already a mature technology.    It was first used over 2,000 years ago and in the last 70 years it has been perfected.  But it cannot provide salt free water for all our needs.    First of all, it is very energy intensive - to cover all human needs would take about about half our energy consumption, so with fusion it would be possible.  But where do you put all the brine?  Desalination produces slightly more brine than fresh water, and it's way too salty for marine life.  Anywhere brine is ejected will become a dead zone, so we will need to spend billions to spread the brine out widely throughout the ocean.  Desalination is a very short term solution.

"mature" old tech methods. but new industry research into new methods is happening. and quickly

some industrialists are suggesting the rise of the need of lithium(battery chemical) and other stuff found in the brine of desalination, is where this rise of desalination industry will first expand and will then expand further from those industries to then cater to using water extraction from those industries to be used for drinking

"free" water.. thats the laugh.. it wont be free.. and thats where the industrialised have glistening dollar signs in their eyes
the desalination industry will expand. and the brine has other uses. more dollar signs  in their eyes. the gift that keeps on giving unless nature takes back the water cycle

dont think of it as beginning with extracting water and leaving the brine. think of it as beginning with extracting the brine for lithium compounds for industry, minerals for other industries, where water is the by-product.. where by later water is then taken on as the new useful sellable product. and later where water becomes the prime product

New methods to turn brine saltier?   Right now we get 48% fresh water 52% brine with current technology.    If you want to squeeze more fresh water out of each cubic meter, you are going to be left with saltier water; no technology can solve this. 

I can see one possible future, but humanity won't make it - process 100% of salt out of water and use the 100% brine to built salt batteries.  This will lower sea levels, and combat sea level rise.  Ocean salinity would not change, so sea life would be unaffected.   It's a good medium term solution while we reduce carbon emissions.

Well you have made a good point in your descripancy but however this Last paragraph I bolded, I don't think it's true. It is the duty of Government to check for the welfare of it's citizens despite settling the community leaders. I think they need to supervise the village and community to see if the porpose at which those community development fund are paid for are really done. Because huge fund may be paid by government for community development and it may be shared among this greedy village elders, but if government supervise This project if its done or not, it will make this men to be serious in rural development and stop sharing those funds.

This is the reality of people living in the south south as it is called in Nigeria, they are the oil producing communities in Nigeria, yet they suffer a lot of lack. Their lands are polluted by oil, their rivers are also polluted by crude oil, I heard that clean drinking water is a problem and water has to go through different rigorous stages of purification before it is manageable for drinking. In my area in the south west we depend on borehole drilled water directly from under the earth to drink, although we treat it. Government supplied water through pipes is almost none existent.

[SuperBitMan]

A lot of people in the world don't have access to clean water and this is a very big issue, clean water should be the most common thing human should have access to buy because of some situations people are not having access to it, this set of people that are not having access to clean water has government my question is what is there government doing about the matter the answer is nothing, some government has failed the people if you can't provide clean water for your citizens you have failed.
Majority cause of not having clean water in some places is as a result of work that is going on in those areas especially those areas with crude oils.
Some places don't even have water and that is why some set of people has taken it upon themselves to provide clean water for this people.

A global wave of creators, led by MrBeast and Mark Rober, launched the #TeamWater campaign in August 2025 with the goal to raise $40 million to provide clean water for 2 million people.
And they have already started providing clean water for some set of people if you want to assist by donating to it I believe you can search for it and support.

Our government really need to do something about this issue of lack of water because if it continues like this it will lead to something else, water is a free gift and people should have access to the best of it which is clean water.

it can does and will get more water out of brine. and i think by your next sentence below, you know this

This will lower sea levels, and combat sea level rise.  Ocean salinity would not change, so sea life would be unaffected.   It's a good medium term solution while we reduce carbon emissions.

exactly humanity wont make it, but industrialists will.. as i said before, forget the industry starting at the water capture side of humanitarian aid of free water.. that dream wont work ecologically nor economically
think from the industry profit side. getting the salts out of sea water. and then with many brine farms evaporating the water out to get the lithium, capture 99% of the water from the entire process leaving the sediment to be farmed on land for resources. and selling the evaporate-condensate to the water utilities, keep building that process out until we are entirely dependant on that industries water capture

carbon emissions are not whats messing with the water cycle. its the lack of water being allowed to just sit on open land to evaporate.

a test anyone can do right now in your own yards
get three glasses of water
pour one into a sealed pipe.
pour one onto a flat surface to make a thin puddle
keep one in the glass
put the sealed pipe and the full glass in your back yard and the wait the day to see which of the 3 water experiments evaporated first

the pipe and full glass represent sewers and reservoirs. the puddle is open land.. spoiler: the puddle evaporates 100% first

..
as for fears of iceburg melting
get yourself a glass of water and icecubes.. topped to the rim of the glass, wait for the ice to melt in the glass. notice how the glass wont overspill.
..
its not the risk of iceburgs melting to cause sea level rise. its that land subsides into the sea due to land movement
enjoy that research
