To raise awareness of the value of fresh water, 22 March is an annual United Nations observance day. This day aims to raise awareness about the 2.2 billion people who don’t have access to clean water and to promote actions aimed at resolving the worldwide water crisis.

Each plastic water bottle requires about a thousand years to decompose properly. However, the decomposition process is not without problems—it comes with releasing harmful chemicals into the environment. These chemicals cause many health problems, including cancer and defects associated with reproductive organs and processes.

Our planet and humanity currently face several challenges, including climate change, water scarcity, inequality, and hunger. A global approach is the most effective way to resolve most of these issues. We must collectively promote sustainable development, focusing on environmental balance, social improvement, and economic growth.

Jackson city’s main water treatment plant failed in mid-to-late August 2022. This failure cut off the city’s residents access to safe and clean water. In introspection, this crisis proves how the city’s water system is fragile and increasingly susceptible to climate change effects in the coming years.

The new map of Mars released by the European Space Agency (ESA) shows locations with abundant hydrated minerals on the red planet. Consequently, this changes how we think about the planet’s watery past. In addition, the map indicates the best places to land for further exploration in the future.

Earth and the life on it depend on the environment for its health. Earth is the home of all life, we rely on the environment for all our needs, including food, water, and air. Consequently, protecting the environment is everyone’s business.

With the increasing demand for sustainable climate action came some new buzzwords. Carbon Neutrality is one of the terms you will find around where climate action is the topic of discussion.

Understandably, not everyone understands what these terms really mean. We use them as frequently as it gets, but do we know if we are using them correctly? Read on to learn more about these terms and how they contribute to the fight against climate change and the quest to save the planet.

Water is life – the source and the most important requirement for every living being.

Every household using a water filter to produce clean drinking water must replace these filter cartridges after some time. The frequency of the change depends on the model, water quality, and water usage.

The water that goes through the RO membrane contains no contaminant. However, the concentrated water on the other side of the membrane is the "wastewater," containing all the removed impurities. It is eventually flushed out. 

The goals have been set. But how far have we gone in achieving these goals in 2021, and how much work still needs to be done? These are the questions we want to answer in this article. We start by looking at how big the safe drinking water challenge is and the initiatives across the globe that are aiming to ensure everyone has access to clean water on their premises. Finally, we focus on the road ahead.

The water filtered by RO system is fresher and healthier than bottled water, but there's a drawback to using RO: excessive wastewater. Let us explore how RO wastewater can be reused here in Waterdrop.

The last fully intact ice shelf, the Miline Ice Shelf, has collapsed. This is just one of the victims of global climate change. But does it stop there? Waterdrop will tell you more.
