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/

December 21, 2017- Bethpage-- Governor Andrew M. Cuomo holds up a glass of tap water as he unveils the 14th proposal of the 2018 State of the State: New York is fast tracking construction of a new, state-of-the-art well system to fully contain and treat the plume of contamination caused by industrial waste from the U.S. Navy and Northrop Grumman Bethpage manufacturing facilities in Oyster Bay, Nassau County. New analysis and modeling shows that it is possible to fully contain and treat the plume, which is now stretches nearly four miles long and two miles wide in the underground aquifer. Governor Cuomo is directing DEC to use every legal tool at its disposal to hold the polluters accountable for constructing and operating the system, which will fully contain and treat to plume to protect Long Island communities..

Beneficiaries collect water from pipes connected to a USAID/OFDA-provided water bladder at the Ciudad de Dios shelter in Irpavi II, La Paz, Bolivia, under the USAID/Regional Disaster Assistance Program (RDAP) program following floods/landslides in March 2011. Since its inception, RDAP has contributed to the increased capacity of disaster management personnel and governments in 12 Latin America and the Caribbean countries, allowing governments such as Bolivia’s to respond quickly and efficiently to emergencies, so affected citizens can more quickly return to their normal lives after a disaster.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia – 22 March, 2011 – Water and sanitation infrastructure in many countries in Europe and Central Asia are in a critical state and deteriorating, often posing a threat to human health. Yet, most countries have signed or ratified core UN human rights conventions, and many regional treaties recognize the right to water.

Using UNICEF jerry cans, a woman cooks next to her flood destroyed home in a village Alam Pali in Umarkot district, Sindh province. Two months after the devastating monsoon rains and floods of 2011, over 4.8 million flood-affected people in Sindh are still coping with the aftermath and are in the process of rebuilding their lives. Safe drinking water is reaching nearly 830,000 flood affected people, including 423,100 children, through water trucking, household water treatment and installation of hand pumps.

Pretty soon, it may be prohibited from visiting this location on the Devil's River in Val Verde County. The Devil's River State Natural Area is currently up for sale, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that this state-owned property will be swapped as part of a land-and-money deal with another location several miles further down the river, which has greater access for the public. The Devil's River State Natural Area only touches a tiny slice of the river itself, which is considered the most untouched and pristine rivers in the state, and can only be accessed by the public in a couple of locations.
This spot, called 'Blue Spring', is less than a mile above where Dolan Creek feeds into the Devil's River. To reach it, you have to drive more than an hour north of Del Rio on the state highway, then turn off and drive about 25 miles on a bumpy dirt road to the state park, then walk another mile and a half past the closed gate. For the entire year of 2009, the park had about 850 visitors; an estimated 250 making their way to this spot (although several more arrive here via canoe or kayak from upstream). It is truly one of the most isolated spots in the entire state -- but to visit it, you better act fast, because by 2011 it may become private property.
For a birds-eye view of this location, here's a video I took from a bluff overlooking the river -- this spot is at around the 20-second mark.

Another picture taken the last summer, at the end of august, in Elba Island. I applied a little filter here to give it the idea of an old shot: all the composition and the people on the background made me think about those old postcards we were used to send when we were in holiday (I still do but I know it is not that common anymore).
The beach is called Spiaggia Bagnaia and it is not my favorite one in the island: it is very short and the sand is mixed with stones. I had fun running around with the car to check basically all the best spots to have a bath around the island: the best for the crystalline waters are Spiaggia di Sansone and the one just near it but they are always crowded (well let's admit it: there is no quiet beach a part the ones you can reach only with a kayak or a boat) and they have only stones (if you want perfectly clear waters you can't aim for a beach with sand); instead the beach with sand I actually liked because it was a bit bigger than the others, even if crowded, was Spiaggia delle Calanchiole and Spiaggia del Lido (they are attached to each other so I look at the as one).
The picture was taken with my Sony Xperia Z1 smartphone.
