This exhibition provides the human profile of the conflicts and struggles of the water. Through photographs and eyewitness accounts, the victims no longer a cold live statistics to communicate their fears, hopes and reasons.
We live in the Blue Planet, Planet Water. And yet, 1,100 million people, according to the UN, are not guaranteed access to drinking water and as a result, some 20,000 die every day, mostly children. It is true that much of the existing water is not usable directly by humans (being salt or be in the form of ice or steam). On the other hand, the climatic diversity makes for more arid and even desert. However, all peoples have settled near rivers, lakes, springs and areas where groundwater is available through wells. Therefore, although there is talk of water shortages, almost nobody dies of thirst itself.
actually face the consequences of the crisis of unsustainability that we caused by predatory logging, pollution and systematic destruction of wetlands, lakes, rivers and aquifers ....
