The difference between spreading out existing water and creating new sources of water

It's come to our attention that the public seems to be greatly misinformed, and someone tried to tell me today that Fresh Water for All's project has already been done and then gave me a link to information on CAP where they are diverting part of the Colorado river.

We in America are spoiled. This is a good thing, I like that my family has it pretty good compared to many places in the world, but the down side is that we aren't able to sympathize with problems we haven't had the misfortune of experiencing. The whole purpose of this project is making it so that we DON'T experience the same kind of problems other countries are already having with water, but it's hard to get people to understand that there is a water crisis when they can turn a knob and water comes out.

Programs like CAP serve a great purpose, it is important that we utilize sources of water we already have. What it doesn't address however is what happens when the water sources they are spreading out as thinly as possible run out. There is a finite amount of available fresh water and there is a growing population and demand for that fresh water. Solving the problem by transporting water from other places simply extends the problem for the next generations to deal with later.

What Fresh Water for All wants to do is add NEW sources of fresh water. Not diverting fresh water from elsewhere but CREATING fresh water where it's needed most. We won't run out of seawater, diverting seawater and turning it into fresh water makes a lot more sense in the long term. We hit a decades long drought and our current system is fine, until the reserves run out. Then where are we left when there's nothing left to divert? The only permanent solution is turning seawater into fresh water.

Please help support Fresh Water for All's project and share, donate, and help get the word out. Our great grandchildren deserve the same easy access to water we have today.

Indiegogo Fundraiser

We've already mentioned it on facebook and put up a few posts in online classifieds, we have started a fundraiser on Indiegogo. CLICK HERE to donate and share the page. We're hoping to raise $500k, a very lofty goal but we have faith that with your help we can get the attention the project deserves and reach our goal.
Now most successful crowdfunding campaigns have a decent sized advertising budget starting out, and already have email marketing lists, funds for facebook and google ads, etc. We don't have any of that. We're a small organization right now and we're relying on help from people like you to spread the message. All it takes is a few quick social shares and you would be doing a lot to raise awareness.

This fundraiser will last for 60 days, and when it is successful we will be able to start construction of our initial project, a smaller scale solar still (just under an acre) off the coast of Texas. With your help we'll be building in February.

Thanks for your support and please donate what you can and help spread the word.
