Imagine, you have a 2 months old baby. Is this water enough to clean your baby nappies using water that arrives once in 3 days for 15 mins ?
This is a real situation happening in India, Peeplee Ka Bas. The residents can only fill their buckets for 15 minutes every 48 hours. A country with millions of brilliant scientist and programmers. Water crisis is no longer a problem that we can continue ignore.

When your finger slightly push the toilet flush, the amount of water that flush your toilet bowl is equal to a Somalian people consume for a day. And these people are walking up to 70km to search for that amount of water.
The easiness to access to water in our city make many of us around have neglected to appreciate this resources.
Transporting water from a far to help these unfortunate is much much harder than transporting foods. If we lost our water due to vapourisation and global warming. It will not be easy to get help from neighbouring countries.
