Our bodies are made up of 60% water, our earth’s surface is made up of 70% water.  It is essential for life.  It is also a source of power, it regulates our climate, and enables us to grow food which is essential for life.  Our world is reliant on clean water.

Since I’ve been writing a lot about the importance of clean water in the world lately, I thought I would share this montage of water photography from around the world.  I’ve been traveling for over 7 years now and have encountered many cultures that use water in different ways than my own.  Water is used for life, but also for fun and sometimes for destruction.  Many of these places are locations that don’t always have easy access to water, so every drop is precious.

And if you want to learn more about helping provide clean water to those in need, please check out my Rickshaw Run donation page for charity: water.

Let’s celebrate our water world!
