Diseases caused by water transcend tsunami disaster
Jack W. Hoffbuhr makes a very good point in his article
"Tapped Out, The tragedy and value of water", as published in the Houston Chronicle.
He says here in the US we take for granted that our tap water will be potable, even after a natural disaster, which it is. This is not so in the nations affected by the tsunami. The poor sanitation problems there only portend more sickness and death.
Hoffbuhr does give credit to organizations such as Water for People and Water Aid, who have been making efforts to improve this situation.
I truly hope that our watersecretsblog.com helps us all take potable water less for granted.
