Two billion people don’t have safe drinking water: what does this really mean for them? For billions, it can mean hours spent collecting water. For almost a million, it means dying from disease.

Two billion people don’t have safe drinking water.

I really like the article of my colleague @hannahritchie.bsky.social, in which she shows what this concretely means for these people, by relying on the portraits of families in Gapminder's Dollar Street project.

Map of most water stressed nations in 2050

Guess which countries invest heavily in seawater desalination? That said, even inland areas with less water stress can benefit from desalination technologies like Forward Osmosis which can squeeze more water from brine and recover useable minerals. #desalination #brineconcentration #brinemining

The image shows a flooded street with two people walking bicycles through the water. The text overlay in bold white letters states: "World Meteorological Organization – State of the Global Climate 2024".

New @wmo-global.bsky.social's #StateOfClimate report finds that the world’s climate indicators have again reached record levels, highlighting the urgent need for countries to develop early warning systems for climate impacts.

What happens if Istanbul's water supplies run dry? Istanbul is one of the world's biggest cities, growing larger still every year. Its rapid expansion is putting enormous stress on its water supplies.

The uncertainty created by climate change has left many cities in a state of confusion. Many avoid desalination for fear of further polluting or high energy consumption. We tackle these tricky issues by offering renewable desalination with unique brine solutions.

What is the process of Forward Osmosis? Take a look. It's pretty straight forward😉 #desalination #forwardosmosis #greendesalination #offgrid #purification

According to the EPA, 20-25 billion barrels of produced water are made in the USA annually. Produced water is the liquid byproduct of drilling for oil and gas.Not many purification technologies can handle it. Forward Osmosis excels when confronted with these dense wastestreams.#gogreen #desalination

Global water gaps under future warming levels - Nature Communications Water scarcity is a growing challenge in a warming world. This study examines how climate change may exacerbate water scarcity, showing the importance of robust water management strategies to address…

What is the water gap and how does it affect you? "The term water gap is used to describe a scenario in which water consumption surpasses the naturally available water supply at any given point within a month." (Phys.org)

Raw sewage is just one of many things humanity dumps into the ocean, obsolete chemical weapons is another - so many reasons to clean the water going in and out.

Salinity Control Fix Act heading to Biden’s desk to address Colorado River salt levels Since 1974, the Bureau of Reclamation has supported various projects to reduce salt levels in the Colorado River’s upper and lower basins. Now, a bill to increase the 50-year-old program’s funding is ...

This week, Congress passed my bill to safeguard water from the Colorado River for our communities, farmers, ranchers, and water users throughout the entire Basin.

This important legislation now heads to the President's desk to be signed into law.

'Zero progress': Western states at impasse in talks on Colorado River water shortages States that rely on the Colorado River are at an impasse in talks on rules to address water shortages. California, Arizona and Nevada are at odds with other states.

The problem won’t solve itself, time to start purifying wastewater…
