International Year of Water Cooperation. March was World Water Month, this month it’s Earth Week. These annual events remind us that it is becoming increasingly more important to focus on the environment and on the importance of freshwater and it is becoming increasingly more important to become proactive in our advocacy for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

UV Pure has thousands of water treatment applications for rainwater or greywater treatment for reuse. These applications conserve fresh water, and in fact it represents our fastest growing market segment - rainwater for reuse (see RainHarvest, in this issue), we even have systems treating rainwater for reuse as drinking water!

In contrast, a more cautionary story about the importance of clean freshwater can be found below in the story of the Calcutta orphanage.

Please join the UV Pure team to help raise awareness of the importance of protecting our fresh water supply, and in our efforts to enable a greater proportion of our planet to access this precious resource.

Thank you
