WATER CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Water is an astonishingly complex and subtle force in an economy. It is the single constraint on the expansion of every city, and even farmers have cited it as the only natural limit to their economic growth.


Feeding our world takes up to 90% of our freshwater withdrawals but many people in developing nations still don't have access to enough water for irrigation. When a water project is built in a community, members can often use the new water source to grow small gardens near their homes and secure their own food supply. Self-sufficient households are less affected by external conflict, famine or inadequate government services.
