Water being filtered for purity at the Durban Heights Treatment Plant in South Africa. To secure our future and that of the next generation we must use water wisely. No single measure can do more to reduce poverty reduce disease and save lives than providing safe water along with adequate sanitation and hygiene awareness and education of all people. The long term challenge is to help people become water literate and to educate the public about the problems and complexities resulting from contamination of water through poor practices. To raise public awareness about environmental issues to minimise pollution in water catchment areas and to help communities to be more water wise by better management of this scarce natural resource. Locally designed and available education resources make it possible for communities to analyse the quality of their own water supplies and so avoid the consequences of water borne disease.
