The Ark Water Project
Net funds from The Ark Directory, The Ark Portal of Innovations and The Ark Communities Project will also go towards providing water, initially through those charities already set up for this purpose.
We will highlight the work of existing Water For ALL charities here.
Once funding has reached optimum level, this will go towards desalination plants which will feed drought affected areas (solar and wave powered), providing:
(As Table 4.7.1. in the Report shows:)
1 1.1 billion people lack access to water
2 2.8 billion people lack basic sanitation
3 1.4 million children die each year purely from the lack of access to safe drinking water & sanitation
Restorative sustainable community living projects in dryland areas provides the essentials which people are currently deprived.
Providing irrigation to as many dryland areas as is feasible, provides the means to replant native species, and provide the habitat for the bio-diversity which is needed.
Re-greening all the brown areas on this planet will significantly reduce CO2 and increase O2 levels.
Providing people with the opportunity of growing their own food, with their own irrigation networks, and the income generated through the sales of table salt, lithium and other minerals from desalination, starts to create stable, economically sound, sustainable communities.
We will be guided by experts in each field in determining the areas most in need of The Ark Water Projects.
The Permaculture Organisation advise on the native replanting needed to each area, and work with local people to provide them with all they need to live sustainably.

Once funding has reached optimum level, this will go towards desalination plants which will feed drought affected areas (solar and wave powered), providing:
- a regular supply of clean water for all those people so appallingly affected in drought affected areas.
- sustainable community living projects, with income derived through the sales of the valuable minerals extracted through sea water desalination processes.
- provides local industry, and boosts local economy, providing much needed income.

storyofstuffproject — March 17, 2010 — http://storyofbottledwater.org
The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.
Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute.
And, for all you fact checkers out there, http://storyofstuff.org/pdfs/StoryOfB...
