      mismanagement man. These charities would rather spend 1300 on a week's worth of bottled water than put effort into creating a good water system for the same amount. When your business is giving away money and you get a percentage of that money your goal is to git rid of it a quickly as possible whether or not it does any good.

      It’s an emotional grift. Someone most likely got public funds or grant in the name of “green renewable deal” and that’s the “economic development project” that made it all compliant. They need to put them in a well with a solar powered pump and/or hand pump and they might not even need a filter. But then they’ll need some guns and ammo to prevent whoever will want to seize it and claim it as there’s. They might want to start with the “innovative green technology” first...

    In many of the small railway stations located far away from towns , the staff had a problem if clean drinking water, so they had a system of filtering water . They had a wooden or bamboo stand on which three water pots were placed,filled with cinder or burnt coal on top pot,while sand was filled in middle pot and the cleaned water used to be percolated to the bottom-most pot .

    You lost me at "Access to clean water is a human right."
    No. It is not.
    This is a highly abbreviated explanation, but this is the basic logic of why clean water is not a human right (this applies to any commodity though).
    The phrase "A human right" implies that you should always have it, whether you can provide it out of your own resources or not.
    But if you are unable to provide it out of your own resources, yet are still guaranteed to have it, that means someone else must provide it for you.
    To guarantee someone is providing it for you, you must either pay them, or if you are unable to pay or unable to find someone willing to do it for pay, then it means you force them to provide it to you against their will, and possibly free of charge.
    Forcing someone to provide labor or services against their will and free of charge is called human slavery.
    Ergo, the statement "clean water is a human right" logically requires the corollary statement "Slavery is a human right."
    Since enslaving others is not a human right, water (or any commodity) can not be a human right.
