The Trinity aquifer – 650 ft under me – is recharged from sandy-bottomed arroyos, like this one. 🚿 " - Check out the story Zach wrote awhile back about #worldwaterday at bit.ly/SelfieSea #watercrisis #azdarya (at Texas)

Photo by Andrew Quilty (@andrewquilty) - "Flying over Afghanistan shows how dependent its population is on water. Aside from the mountainous central and northern provinces, to look at, the country is 99 percent dessert; except, that is, for the valleys where rain and snowmelt feed rivers and decades-old-canals that turn the crops either side verdant and green in the warmer months and sustain a population – 85 percent of whom rely on agriculture for their livelihood. So it's rare to see a body of still #water like this one in Nangarhar Province - the last foot or two remaining on a sandy flood plain before it's replenished by the spring thaw in the Hindu Kush mountains to the north." #andrewquilty @washpostphoto #watercrisis #afghaniatan #azdarya (at Nangarhar Province)

Photo by Erin Lefevre (@erinlefevrephoto) In honor of the front line horses that had to be put down after being shot by the militarized police in Standing Rock: Jerica Meditz's new horse, Shota, drinks water from a stream at the Sacred Stone Camp in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The Standing Rock Horse Society gave the horse to Jerica after he was kicked and injured by another horse at the camp. My favorite white Converse shoes were destroyed in the making of this photograph after being ankle deep in the mud, but it was worth it. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a 1,172 mile pipeline that spans from North Dakota to Illinois under the Mississippi and Missouri River and will carry 470,000 barrels of Canadian crude oil per day. The pipeline, which violates numerous federal laws and Indian treaties, would destroy the #water supply of over 18 million people if the water becomes contaminated with oil- water that is used for drinking, agriculture, and numerous ecosystems. I am documenting the ongoing movement against the pipeline in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois.” - #standingrock #DakotaAccessPipeline #watercrisis #azdarya (at Sacred Stone Camp)

6 month ago today a dam burst at an iron ore mine in southeastern Brazil, unleashing 50 million tons of highly toxic mud and mining waste killing 19 people and causing the worst environmental disaster in the country’s history. Artwork & words by @osgemeos “How much longer will we live this way? With such neglect? The prevailing corruption and abandonment in all sectors is stark, the government has no regard for nature neither for the people and now we watch another tragedy of absurd dimensions. That's enough!!! How much is human life worth?? We are heading toward the disorder and retrogression. Até quando vamos viver dessa maneira, nesse descaso?? A corrupção impera, o abandono em todos os setores é gritante, o governo não tem a menor consideração pela natureza nem pelo seu povo e agora mais uma tragédia de dimensões absurdas. Basta!!! Quanto vale a vida do ser humano?? Estamos caminhando para a desordem e retrocesso.” -

They can not use tap water for drinking so they have to purchase clean water every day from one of the existing water purification centers in the island although that the island is located in the heart of the Nile River which is the main source of drinking #water in #Egypt.” -

Photo by Sima Diab (@sima_diab) “Trash including plastics and waste water discharge from nearby residential buildings through open pipes and pour in to the Mediterranean Sea near Abu Qir, #Alexandria. 
The United Nations Environment Programme (@UNenvironment) estimates that around 650 million tons of #sewage, including tens of thousands of tons of other pollutants are dumped into the Mediterranean each year from Mediterranean countries and about 70 per cent of the #wastewater dumped into the Mediterranean is untreated.

Considering the Mediterranean is almost entirely landlocked, the water in the sea has a very low renewable rate, trapping the trash and waste. 
Open dumping of waste reduces oxygen levels in the sea, affecting fish and sea life and has an adverse effect on all living things, including the health of human beings whose livelihood is attached to the water. Already many fisherman complain of lack of fish near the Alexandrian coast line, and their need to venture further and further in to the sea to find fish.” - #egypt #pollution #watercrisis #azdarya (at Abu Qir Port)
