We have heavily interfered with the natural balance of our environment.
Through our cities, farming, transportation, and industries we have
polluted our air, soil, and water. The vital ecosystem services, biodiversity, and
freshwater availability we all depend on are under threat. We must act fast to
first minimize the ongoing damage and then reverse it. Since water is at the
core of life, it is through solving the world’s water-related problems that we can
most improve the health of our planet and its inhabitants, and with immediate
effect. Restoring our deteriorated water bodies is an investment that will pay
dividends many times over.
