World Water Day

as an engineer working in the environmental field, the UN wold water day in March 22nd is always worth remembering what crucial situation we are living - and i am working- in. China actually is showcasing all the worlds problems in just one country: extremly water scarcity in the north-west (even below the international scarcity standrad) that forces the government to build the incredible south-north water transfer project from Yangtse to beijing for 500 km! heavy floddings in the south due to rainfall/climate change, 3 of the mayor world rivers: yangtze, Yellow and mekong, all start in tibet, the damm problems of changing ecosystem and forced migration and last- but worst: water pollution absolutely everywhere.
worldwide around 1,2 Billion people are without safe water supply.

i know water is mayor important for our lives
but i often see during my work that just delivering water is creating another, often totally neglected, problem: wastewater. Sure: its nice to impress with your water project, but noone wants to impress with a toilet or sewerage. And the figures in sanitation are even worse: 2.6 Billion people without safe sanitation (toilet). That is why we say as World Toilet engineers often state:

WATER iS LIFE, SANITATION IS DIGNITY
