Issyk-Kul (Russian: Иссык-Куль, Issyk-Kulj) is an endorheic lake (Endorheic lakes are bodies of water that do not flow into the sea) in the northern Tian Shan mountains in eastern Kyrgyzstan. It is the tenth largest lake in the world by volume (though not in surface area), and the second largest saline lake after the Caspian Sea. Issyk-Kul means "warm lake" in the Kyrgyz language; although it is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, it never freezes.
Issyk-Kul Lake is 182 kilometres (113 mi) long, up to 60 kilometres (37 mi) wide, and its area is 6,236 square kilometres (2,408 sq mi). It is the second-largest mountain lake in the world behind Lake Titicaca in South America. It is at an altitude of 1,607 metres (5,272 ft), and reaches 668 metres (2,192 ft) in depth.
About 118 rivers and streams flow into the lake.

I was just in the Tigray region of Northern Ethiopia with Charity:Water building wells to provide clean drinking water to the poor in remote villages. The conditions are dire and the relief provided by these wells was so immediate and gratifying to see. Kids will no longer be at risk for dysentery, and women will no longer need to walk for hours to fetch water from dirty sources miles away. This means that not only will the entire community be healthier, but everyone can now attend school. A mere $20 provides clean drinking water for one person for 20 years. I would be honored if you donated and helped these folks out: www.charitywater.org/
One of the more interesting streams in my area. This stream has carved a path through the bedrock on the side of steep mountain side. Creating endless pools, tubs, waterfalls and rapids.

A ferry leaves the mainland for the Grenadine island of Bequia. The ride is about an hour, but can be quite challenging at times given the rough seas, particularly at this time of the year.
When the water is up this whole canyon can be very dangerous for those trying to take canoes downstream. Abrupt right-angle turns can make it impossible under certain conditions. One realizes that if one ventures upstream one may not come back until the water once again is serene.

Naminaue hosts 2,227 households across both the host community and IDP site, accommodating individuals displaced from Palma, Muidumbe, Nangade, Mocímboa da Praia, Quissanga, Macomia, and Chiúre districts since 2020. The area faces significant challenges in accessing reliable water due to limited infrastructure and complex geographic and hydrogeological conditions, including high salinity.
To address these challenges, IOM rehabilitated three boreholes in Naminaue, Nangua (both in IDP sites), and 25 de Junho (host community).This rehabilitation was done in close consultation with the community and successfully restored a borehole in three sites of Naminawe. The Nangua site ( 559HH ), with this rehabilitation, IOM provided displaced families and host community members with sustainable access to clean water for drinking, cooking, sanitation, and hygiene.
Additionally, IOM established and trained a water committee to maintain the boreholes, ensuring their long-term functionality and cleanliness. The Nangua borehole is one of nine boreholes rehabilitated by IOM in Cabo Delgado since 2024, contributing to improved water security in the region. Photo: Amanda Nero/IOM 2025
Design for Water is a special project that evolved from a workshop held at AKTO design and Art College in Thessaloniki, Greece on February 20th - 21st, 2013.
The workshop titled "Social Design" was conducted by Michael Thompson otherwise called "Freestylee" and Maria Papaefstathiou.
The purpose of this workshop is to help students channel their creativity into tools that can impact their community and the wider world in a positive direction. Also, to communicate on how to use poster designs as a vehicle for change.
We choose the topic "The Clean Water Crisis" as a platform to build awareness around the subject and to support FACE Africa's effort in Liberia.
FACE Africa is an organization working in Liberia to resolve the clean water crisis that is so prominent in that West African country.
