the water


the water in latín américa 

in latín América  77 million of people have lack access to safe water connection in there homes but the most afected are the rural residents with a 51 million of people this problem has affectted to the lives and work of the people that pass by these situation 

less than a 14 percent of of houses are treated with sanation plants this is why many people have health problems because when the water is contaminated and you drink it the bacteria of the water will enter to your body and this make you gett sick.












the water in the world
The Water Triangle is Pure Water’s simple model of the three essential steps needed to solve the problems of related to waterborne disease:


DRINK: The first step in establishing a pure water system is to remove contaminants from a water source, so that people can drink it.
WASH: The second step is basic health and hygiene education, which is essential to change behaviors and establish good hygiene habits.
WASTE: The final step of a pure water system is the appropriate management of human waste.
This comprehensive solution is at the heart of what Pure Water does. We do it to last – bringing the simple equipment and education needed for a lifetime of better health. We do it by hiring local teams and working actively to develop community oversight.
And you make it possible. Thank you for your continuing support.

Improving lives one drop at a time.

If you live in a place where clean drinking water is taken for granted, it can be difficult to grasp the scarcity of clean water and adequate sanitation. Worldwide:
  • 1 in 5 people on Earth have no access to safe water to drink.
    5,000 children die every day as a result.
  • One third of the world’s people lack adequate sanitation.
  • For much of the world, effective hygiene is either impractical or not understood.
The consequences of these three deficiencies together — lack of clean water, hygiene, and sanitation — are devastating. Worldwide, millions are sickened by diarrheal disease and weakened by parasites, and 15,000 die each and every day.
But it doesn’t stop there.
When children are sick, they can’t go to school. Often a mother or sibling must stay with a sick child — and she in turn is unable to work or go to school. Recurring waterborne diseases lock families, communities, and nations into a cycle of endless poverty and lack of opportunity.



the water

the water is a substance the molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen (H2O). It is essential for the survival of all known forms of life. The term water generally refers to the substance in its liquid state, but it may be in solid form ice call, and in gaseous form called steam. Water covers 71% of the surface of the cortex terrestre.2 is mainly localized in the oceans which accounts for 96.5% of the total water, glaciers and ice caps have 1.74%, underground reservoirs (aquifers ), the permafrost and continental glaciers account for 1.72% and 0.04% remaining in descending order is split between lakes, soil moisture, air, reservoirs, rivers and vivos.3 beings water is a common element solar system, as confirmed by recent discoveries.

types of water


Water can be present in three states being one of the few substances that can be found in three states so natural.9 Water adopts very different forms on Earth: as water vapor, forming clouds in the air and seawater , possibly in the form of icebergs in the oceans, glaciers and rivers in the mountains, and underground aquifers in liquid form.
Water can dissolve many substances, giving them different flavors and odors. Because of its essential role for life, man-among many other animals have developed senses, able to evaluate the potability of water, avoiding the consumption of salty or putrid. Humans also tend to prefer cold water consumption which is warm, as cold water is less likely to contain germs. The flavor perceptible in meltwater and mineral water derives from the minerals dissolved in it, in fact pure water is tasteless. To regulate human consumption is calculated based on water purity of the presence of toxins, pollutants and microorganisms. Water has many names, depending on its form and features.
