World Water Reserve identifies several key pillars that uphold sustainable, self-sufficient living, all of which are linked to clean water. These pillars are: Water Crisis: The global water crisis is projected to increase in severity in the coming years with water-stressed, developing regions feeling the brunt of it. Issues such as water conflict, water scarcity, groundwater depletion, and contamination continue to compound the growing problem. For those interested in maintaining a sustainable community, creating a strategy around the growing water crisis is a necessity. Water Potability: The knowledge and means to purify water for potable use is the heart and soul of this website. We cover various different methods for water purification including carbon filtration, disinfection, distillation, ultraviolet purification, and reverse osmosis, as well as reviewing the different devices that facilitate these methods. We also cover, in detail, the many aspects of getting water from a well system. Self-Sufficiency: The concept of self-sufficiency is an expansive one and covers a host of topics. At World Water Reserve we primarily concentrate on rainwater harvesting, aquaponics, vegetable gardening, and permaculture philosophy, all of which are tied to a clean supply of water. Sustainability: The topic of sustainability can be very broad and is often times associated with large-scale operations within NGOs and some industries. For the purposes of this website, were addressing sustainability in the small-scale sense. Meaning, were interested in sustainable practices that small communities can implement in order to flourish independently. This can include anything from sustainable philosophies, energy-efficient devices such as solar panels or wind turbines, battery bank planning, and anything that can help a community live autonomously.
