With recent extreme heat, droughts and floods worldwide, many scientists and politicians warn that how we manage access to clean water may soon become a matter of war or peace, death or life. (https://www.weather.gov/arx/severe_monitor)
Fear, blame and ignorance are not going to solve the problem. Instead, we ask our future leaders and global citizens to assess the situation across borders in many of our BWB Clubs countries, learn from each other's perspectives and experiences, and finally, brainstorm campaigns to raise awareness of the global water crisis while raising funds for under-served communities supported by our Forum partner H2OForLife.
