Today is World Water Day. We should think today of all those people who have little or no access to clean water. Water is life, and to be without it is to face death -- slowly from disease, or less slowly from starvation and thirst. We who live in the developed world take clean, safe water for granted. We think of it as a free gift, when its reaching us is the result of a vast infrastructure that guarantees that it comes out of our taps in a steady, bright stream. We are lucky, but so many people in the world are not.
