Water and Sanitation | Water, Sanitation and Hygiene According to the latest estimates of the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP), 32 per cent of the world’s population – 2.4 billion people – lacked improved sanitation facilities, and 663 million people still used unimproved drinking water sources in 2015 Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kills and sickens thousands of children every day, and leads to impoverishment and diminished opportunities for thousands more. Poor sanitation, water and hygiene have many other serious repercussions. Children – and particularly girls – are denied their right to education because their schools lack private and decent sanitation facilities. Women are forced to spend large parts of their day fetching water. Poor farmers and wage earners are less productive due to illness, health systems are overwhelmed and national economies suffer.
Tom Yum Soup - Tom Yum Soup Recipe Soup to boost your immune system? That's right! Tom Yum soup is currently under study for its ability to fight off cold and flu viruses, and perhaps even cancer (see link below for more information). So try my delicious version of Tom Yum Goong, which is basically Tom Yum soup but with a little coconut milk added ("Tom Khaa"). The coconut milk gives it a little more thickness and flavor while still keeping it healthy. It's an easy recipe, and quick to cook up, but tastes like Thai restaurant quality. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Yield: SERVES 2-3 Ingredients: Preparation: For a simple step-by-step version of this recipe, see: Easy Tom Yum Soup Recipe. About Tom Yum Soup and Coconut Milk: Depending on which Thai chef is cooking, evaporated milk may be added instead of coconut milk (this is often the case in Thailand). For more on the immune-boosting benefits of Tom Yum soup, see: Thai Soup Under Study.

Water Wise - Water Conservation and Education Campaign by Rand Water "Water Wise" is Rand Water's environmental brand. It is a campaign aimed at increasing awareness of the need to value water and to use it wisely. South Africa is a water stressed country, and the water resources are under tremendous pressure from a growing population, ongoing development, pollution, wetland destruction, alien invasive plants and the effects of global warming. The amount of water available for use remains the same, and despite plans to increase storage capacity through the building of new dams or water transfer schemes, predictions are that the demand for water will outstrip supply by 2025. Anna Gare : Celebrity Chef | LifeStyle FOOD When she was 12 and three quarters, desperately wanting to be 13, she formed an all girl band with her sister and two friends called the “Jam Tarts”. For ten years the Jam Tarts were a successful touring and recording band within Australia and acclaimed at international music festivals. While Anna was in the Jam Tarts, she supplemented her rock and roll lifestyle with cooking, where she honed her talents in various restaurants around Australia. After a decade of rock and roll, it was time for a change. Anna also began working in Television. Following her TV experience with Ian, Anna went on to presenting her own cooking segment on magazine chat show called Perth at Five. Last year Anna co-starred with chefs Ben O’Donoghue and Darren Simpson in The Best in Australia on The LifeStyle Channel.
DOGO News - Kids news articles! Kids current events; plus kids news on science, sports, and more! Water, sanitation & hygiene Women and girls from remote mountain villages in North Vietnam walk up to three hours a day to haul water back to their houses for cooking. Here in Australia we turn on our taps. Fresh, clean accessible water for drinking and for cooking. We all need it, only some of us have to go to the limits of human endurance to get it. Almost 900 million people in the world do not have access to clean water – or one in eight people. (WHO/UNICEF) Unclean water, poor sanitation and unsafe hygiene practices have claimed more lives over the past century than any other cause – and this is continuing in many developing countries – making this one of the world’s most urgent health issues. So, what do we do? Get some of the world’s best water and sanitation engineers and public health specialists with a can-do attitude on to the job. Every second counts in times of crisis. Australia’s overseas aid budget has suffered from successive cuts.
Science NetLinks: Crops 1: Where Does Food Come From? Purpose To help students understand that most of the food we eat comes from farms. Context This is the first lesson of a two-part series on where food comes from. In Crops 1: Where Does Food Come From? In Crops 2: What Plants Need to Grow, students focus on the second part of the central benchmark by learning how to grow plants and about the kinds of things that promote growth (warmth, sunlight, water, soil). While teaching, keep in mind that a lot of people never see food or fiber before those products get to retail stores and that primary-school children may have only vague ideas about where their foods and fabrics come from. Students will also benefit from knowing that many people are involved in the farming industry. The basic experiences of students at this early level include seeing plants grow from seeds they have planted, eating the edible portions of the mature plants, and noticing what plants and other things animals eat.

Water | FAO | Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO's role in water Agriculture faces complex challenges between now and 2050 to satisfy an estimated population of nine billion. One certainty, however, is that more water will be needed to produce the estimated 60% of extra food needed. FAO’s work in water focuses on a more efficient, equitable and environmentally friendly use of water in agriculture. Issues around water that need to be addressed include: producing more food while using less waterbuilding resilience of farming communities to cope with floods and droughtsapplying clean water technologies that protect the environment Irrigation Irrigated agriculture plays a key role in food production. Water resources Tremendous progress in food production in recent years has made it possible to provide better quality food to more people than ever before. Too often, however, this is achieved at the expense of water resources and of the health of the ecosystems they sustain. Water governance Climate change and variability FAO’s work focuses on:
Water and sanitation The right to water and sanitation Water is the source of life – vital for health, food and economic development. Without sufficient and affordable clean water and access to adequate toilet and washing facilities, people suffer a range of illnesses. Every person has a right to sufficient water for personal and domestic uses (between 50 and 100 litres of water per person, per day), which must be safe, acceptable, affordable (water costs should not exceed 3 per cent of household income), and physically accessible (the water source has to be within 1,000 metres of the home and collection time should not exceed 30 minutes). Access to water People's ability to obtain enough water for their needs is dependent on many overlapping factors. Water may be available through rain collected in rivers, lakes, dams or tanks and distributed by pipelines. The cost can affect people's ability to obtain sufficient water for their needs. Access to sanitation Cooperating for water access
