The aim of the campaign is to bring bottled atmospheric waters from the newly discovered Ice Atmospheric Fountain.
“Our Savia Atmospheric Waters is a project designed to bring to you, the purest and healthiest atmospheric drinking waters straight from the ice atmospheric fountain that was discovered recently, says the spokesperson for Savia.
We are also committed to the continued development of new winter-based atmospheric fountains which involves harvesting waters even when the temperature goes below freezing.” The Kickstarter campaign by Savia has been launched for providing nearly 100% coverage from summer through winter from the glass fountains which includes the Solid Fountains that were discovered in 2014, Ice Fountains discovered in 2014, and Winter Fountains discovered in 2016.
Atmospheric fountains have emerged as popular drinking water resources in which drinking waters are harvested right from the air around us naturally, using ice.
Savia boasts of having discovered the process of making ice work atmospherically which is a fully natural process.
Savia is working on the process of producing bottled water from the three newly-discovered atmospheric fountains.
Savia aims to tap the three atmospheric fountains and create the technology needed to run these fountains atmospherically without using electricity.
They aim to meet the demand for pure and clean drinking water by creating the technology that can be used to tap water from these resources naturally and without using electricity at all.
The world at large is looking at a water crisis in the near future.
There is an urgent need to create access to reliable and safe drinking water.

Creating Freshwater From Salt Water Using Only Solar Energy.
The desalination system, which uses a combination of membrane distillation technology and light-harvesting nanophotonics, is the first major innovation from the Center for Nanotechnology Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT), a multi-institutional engineering research center based at Rice University.
NEWT’s "nanophotonics-enabled solar membrane distillation" technology, or NESMD, combines tried-and-true water treatment methods with cutting-edge nanotechnology that converts sunlight to heat.
"Direct solar desalination could be a game changer for some of the estimated 1 billion people who lack access to clean drinking water," said Rice scientist and water treatment expert Qilin Li, a corresponding author on the study.
Distillation has been used for centuries, but it requires complex infrastructure and is energy inefficient due to the amount of heat required to boil water and produce steam.
An emerging technology for desalination is membrane distillation, where hot salt water is flowed across one side of a porous membrane and cold freshwater is flowed across the other.
By adding low-cost, commercially available nanoparticles to a porous membrane, NEWT has essentially turned the membrane itself into a one-sided heating element that alone heats the water to drive membrane distillation.
Li, the leader of NEWT’s advanced treatment test beds at Rice, said the water production rate increased greatly by concentrating the sunlight.
For example, if you need 20 liters per hour, and the panels produce 6 liters per hour per square meter, you would order a little over 3 square meters of panels."
Established by the National Science Foundation in 2015, NEWT aims to develop compact, mobile, off-grid water-treatment systems that can provide clean water to millions of people who lack it and make U.S. energy production more sustainable and cost-effective.

Global Water Dances celebrate the importance of water across the globe.
Global Water Dances began in 2011, and has taken place every two years since then.
The event has brought performers and audiences together in more than 250 cities, unified around a call to action to honor and protect water.
All performances are free of charge, and family friendly.
Ecological acts include cleaning rivers or beaches, speaking out against polluting or wasting water.
There are many ecological agencies giving their support, like Center for Global Environmental Organization, World Water Rescue Foundation, Water.org, Sane Energy Project, Nature Conservancy, Huron River Watershed Council, Mississippi River Fund, 350.org, 5Gyres, to name a few.
Global Water Dances is a project of the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS) in New York City.
"We know that Global Water Dances changes peoples’ attitudes about water," said Ibarguen.
"In 2013, we gathered survey responses from almost 1,000 people from four continents who attended their local performance.
75% of the respondents reported that the performance increased their interest in water issues and 78% said that the dance event inspired them to take action regarding water issues."

Of pigs, pythons and population growth – setting the record straight.
I am constantly startled by references to “population growth” as a cause of a number of development challenges.
I can almost see Thomas Malthus grinning at me from the shadows.
It gets worse.
The highest fertility is in sub-Saharan Africa, with Southern Africa having fairly low levels by comparison.
Family planning, child survival, and female education will have huge impacts on the highest fertility countries, but the trajectory of most other countries is a declining one already.
Of the top ten highest fertility countries, nine are in Africa, and eight of those are listed as being fragile.
So, fertility is highly correlated with crisis, uncertainty, and poor access to services.
Yes, of course numbers matter: Food and water scarcity, pressures on urban transport or on roads are correlated with how many people there are.
But why do infrastructure based services affect some people more than others?

5.5 million S. Sudanese facing severe food insecurity: IOM.
Email Print Save Many families coping mechanisms are declining because the communities are facing displacement and reduced access to crops, markets and basic services.
The crisis is particularly severe in Unity region, where an estimated 100,000 people are facing famine conditions.
“The lack of access to safe drinking water is one of the causes of malnutrition,” explains Antonio Torres, a Coordinator at IOM WASH. Torres went on to say that IOM wants to promote good hygiene and sanitation practices in all communities, primarily the ones with food insecurities.
IOM undertakes efforts to both increase access to safe water and ensure the promotion of good hygiene and sanitation practices to safeguard these communities against further health risks, including the spread of waterborne diseases,” he said.
In food-insecure and famine-affected areas, IOM aims to help its’ partners reach an estimated 50,000 people with water storage and treatment supplies, 21,000 women and girls with menstrual hygiene management kits, and 20,000 people through improved sanitation facilities.
As populations in Kapoeta are facing severe food insecurity, a cholera outbreak can be catastrophic in areas where individuals already experience malnutrition, poor WASH conditions and limited access to health facilities.
The Japanese funding has also provided a boost to IOM’s rapid response health teams, which are able to react quickly to health needs and emergencies, such as disease outbreaks across the country.
The team recently responded to a cholera outbreak and acute primary health-care needs in Jonglei’s Ayod County, where families face crisis-level food insecurity.
IOM’s emergency health and WASH responses are also supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance, the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the EC European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations, the UN Central Emergency Response Fund and the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund.

Be The First State To Tax Sugary Drinks.
Right now, Massachusetts has the opportunity to become the first state in the nation to pass a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages — sodas, “sports” drinks, fruit drinks and other drinks with added sugar — and get a two-fer: funds to help our struggling budget and a huge boon to public health.
There have been measurable drops in the consumption of sugary drinks, a corresponding increase in water consumption as well as a pool of tax dollars available for further public health measures.
Research shows that over-consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is an overwhelming contributor to costly and preventable health challenges in our state: Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and dental cavities among them.
At the same time, Massachusetts faces a massive shortfall in funding needed for our drinking water infrastructure.
We have let our drinking water infrastructure deteriorate and made it more difficult for people to make the healthiest choice — drinking water.
The tiered structure of the tax will discourage beverages with the massive amounts of added sugar we see today.
Every school, park and municipal building in Massachusetts should have drinkable water and modern water filing stations where kids and adults can have access to clean drinking water.
A well-structured state tax on sugary beverages with funds devoted to the state’s water infrastructure and better access to exercise and recreation will create an environment where health thrives and health care costs are lower for everyone.
Why shouldn’t Massachusetts be the first state in the nation to pass a state-wide sugary drink tax?

Land commissioner halts oil- and gas-related well easements.
Dunn sent a letter May 23 announcing that he will stop issuing or renewing easements intended for use of freshwater for oil industry activities.
Dunn’s action was in response to the City of Eunice selling water for hydraulic fracturing or fracking, he told Hobbs News-Sun (http://bit.ly/2rETUeZ) Wednesday.
"What my concern is that the Ogallala is a depleting resource," Dunn said.
He recommended drilling into the Capitan Reef for access to non-potable water as an alternative.
Mayor Matt White brought up the issue at Tuesday’s city council meeting.
"The way I look at it, the lifeblood of this town is the water.
Dunn countered by saying that water used in agriculture does not have the lasting impact that fracking does.
