While republicans make AI vids of James Talarico that use clean water to make, James provides clean water to Texans that don’t have running water. “For years they have lived without safe, clean water or basic sewer infrastructure because the people in power have failed them.”

“Build more infrastructure” can sound a bit abstract. But relying on Victorian infrastructure means that right now, thousands of my constituents have no running water. In Britain, in 2026, people have to sit in the bath and wash as best they can with bottled water. Absurd.

The ongoing Gauteng water crisis is now calling for government's intervention to keep our taps from running dry. Deputy President Paul Mashatile attributes this crisis to water leakages due to old infrastructure that has not been repaired. #eNCA #DStv403

Few trust that the tap water is safe enough to drink in McDowell County, West Virginia. Black and brown liquid oozes from aging pipes, and contamination from decades of coal mining lingers. Pastor Brad Davis says some people haven't taken a hot shower in six years or longer due to fumes in the water.

Using old coal mines to heat homes? Gateshead is doing it. Their mine-water project—the UK’s largest—draws 15°C water from boreholes, uses heat pumps to boost it to 80°C, and sends that heat through an underground network. The system now warms 350+ homes and 23 buildings.

The water main that broke in West Hollywood was MORE THAN 100 YEARS OLD The water caused significant damage to cars, roads, apartments and businesses nearby Mayor Karen Bass says it’s a challenge to repair and maintain infrastructure like pipes when they are over 100 years old A water and power worker says they will need to pump out the water from locations Let me remind you, Karen Bass recently admitted that Democrats haven’t invested in infrastructure in decades, she literally said this on camera So yet again, this is a problem caused by Democrat neglect. Yet California has record taxes and gets nothing for it

If you have a tankless water heater, get a water softener. It will pay for itself. This video is from a tankless water heater that is only five years old. Destroyed due to hard water buildup.

The state of water infrastructure in South Africa is poor. We have gone years without investing in maintenance or construction. What we are witnessing currently is evidence of years of neglect. In Tshwane, we have been criticised for using water tankers to ensure continued service delivery of water to residents in times of crisis. However, this positioning of blame neglects the context of what we’ve inherited and are now trying to fix -aging infrastructure.

These water trucks are heading from Russia's Rostov toward Ukraine. Due to Russian occupation, Donetsk region has been left without water. The region is currently suffering from extreme heat, and water is almost entirely unavailable. Both drinking and technical water now has to be delivered to more than 1.2 million residents of Donetsk and Makiivka, as well as to half a million people in other towns and cities. There is also a shortage of water for Russian soldiers from the "Center" and "East" military groupings. The hopelessness of the situation is not that there is no way to deliver water - because of leaky pipes, destroyed water intakes, and pumping stations. The real disaster is that the water itself has physically run out. In the Donetsk coal basin, nearly all mines have been flooded during the occupation. As long as the mines were operating or kept in dry conservation, water was regularly pumped out. But after Russian forces occupied the city in 2014, they first sold all the equipment from these mines for scrap metal, and then simply flooded everything. Flooding the mines means stopping the pumping of water from them - disrupted water horizons, underground rivers, etc. do their job. The tragedy is that once a mine fills up, its contents mix with these groundwater horizons. The resulting excess pressure forces this mine water to rise to the surface, creating huge rust-colored swamps - that's iron oxide. As a result, all water horizons in Donbas are now unfit for any use. This is a massive environmental catastrophe that no one is talking about.

"End to School Year" celebration in USA, Parents welcoming kids with water baloons and water guns. Everyone from every country, religion and race is enjoying it. -Nobody crying consent -Nobody crying harassment -Nobody giving lectures on "Save Water" -Nobody killing anyone if water baloon hits them This is recent tradition in USA. But in India, Holi which is being celebrated from thousands of years has been demonised. From save water, consent to why throw water baloons on Muslims have ruined a Fun Festival. West is taking inspiration from our festival, while woke Indians have rejected it.

Imagine this. You’re a Palestinian in a West Bank village, relying on a single well for clean water. Then they appear: Israeli settlers, dumping toxic waste and animals into it. The water is contaminated. A deliberate act to force you off your land.

From Martin County, KY to Delbarton, WV — the coal industry’s mess keeps poisoning our region, and politicians keep failing us. In 2000, Martin County, Kentucky suffered one of the worst coal slurry spills in U.S. history - over 300 million gallons of toxic sludge (loaded with arsenic, mercury, and more) flooded the waterways after a Massey impoundment failed. Rivers turned black, aquatic life died by the millions, and the drinking water for tens of thousands was contaminated. More than 25 years later? Many residents are still drinking bottled water. 96% rely on it for drinking because the tap water remains unreliable, with frequent outages, line breaks, and quality issues. They pay some of the highest water rates in Kentucky for water they often can’t trust. When disasters like the recent orange water crisis in Delbarton, Mingo County, WV hit, it doesn’t stop at the state line. These creeks and rivers connect all of us across eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia, and beyond. The pollution flows downstream. The health risks don’t check borders. Some locals believe these incidents aren’t just accidents, they suspect old mines are being allowed (or even encouraged) to flood and discharge so companies can more easily extract rare earth minerals from the acid mine drainage and waste. While the world scrambles for materials for EVs, magnets, and tech, our hollows pay the price with orange rivers and undrinkable water. Whether it’s Kentucky politics dragging its feet on infrastructure or West Virginia downplaying blowouts and acid mine drainage, our mountain communities keep paying the price for decades of extraction. Coal built this region, but its legacy left us with ruined water, struggling economies, and broken promises. We need real investment in clean water systems that actually work not more studies and excuses. No more treating Appalachia like a disposable sacrifice zone for yesterday’s coal and tomorrow’s “green” minerals.

From China… a portable device that turns various water sources into usable, clean water China has developed a mobile water‑purification unit capable of treating well water, floodwater, river water, mountain springs, groundwater, and even tap water — all without disconnecting pipes or performing any complex installation work. The device is easy to carry and operate, making it suitable for homes, farms, work sites, camping trips, and emergency situations or natural disasters where traditional water sources are affected.

People in Gaza are pleading for a drop of water. Every day, we receive dozens of urgent appeals from camps that have been cut off from drinking water, where displaced families are living in unbearable conditions. Families spend long hours searching for water, while young children are forced to carry heavy jerrycans and walk long distances. In many cases, the only water available is unsafe for drinking and intended only for irrigation. In Gaza, water is no longer just a daily necessity, it has become a struggle for survival. Parents are unable to provide a clean cup of water for their children, while the sick and elderly endure thirst inside tents under the intense heat. Providing water today is not a luxury, it is an urgent necessity that saves lives and preserves dignity. That is why our team is working to reach as many camps as possible to deliver safe drinking water to displaced families. Every contribution can help bring clean water to a family exhausted by thirst and siege. Your donations make a difference… because everyone deserves water and life. To contribute: Thank you!
