Today is World Water Day, a moment to pause and reflect on global freshwater challenges and solutions.
As an environmental NGO working with water every day, this is part of our daily reality. But today offers an opportunity to slow down and reflect on what water really means in our lives.
Water can feel abundant. After all, 71% of the Earthโs surface is covered by it. And yet, only 0.5% is accessible and usable freshwater. ๐
What seems infinite is, in practice, deeply limited, and shared by all forms of life.
And yet, for many people around the world, access to safe drinking water is still not a given. More than two billion people still live without safely managed drinking water.
At the same time, up to 80% of wastewater globally flows back into nature untreated. What we return to rivers, lakes, and oceans does not disappear, it becomes part of the ecosystems that sustain life, including our own.๐ฟ
Water holds together ecosystems, wildlife, and landscapes. Civilizations have always grown around it. And still today, every form of life depends on its presence.๐ง
We often think of nature as something around us. But water reminds us that this boundary is not so clear.
We live on nature and we are part of it. We live on water and it is part of us.
What would it mean to care for water as something we are part of?
