Editorial

Water is a resource that some people have access to, but for billions of people around the world, water crisis has stealthily become the biggest killer on earth.

Children die each day from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation facilities. Global warming plays a major role in contributing to water crisis.

These contradictory conditions make “water” the most interesting topic of discussion around the world. 

So the next time you are wasting water by running a tap, or taking a shower, think about the billions of people who would give anything for just a sip of water.
