Population growth has exploded since the Industrial Revolution. With steady jobs, better medicine and a stable food supply, the world’s population has tripled in the last 70 years, adding five billion people. In the two previous centuries, it took 100 years to double our population. With mankind’s changing living habits, we utilize much more disposable trash and garbage, which is turning into mountains around our cities, or, in some parts of the world, it is clogging our rivers and being dumped into our oceans.

The increase in population and the associated trash continues to increase the need for clean water. These problems are not going to improve until we decide to work for that progress. One way to accomplish the advancement in water accessibility is through education. There are numerous cultures and languages that might be easy to educate in some locations, but is an obstacle elsewhere. To simplify the educational process, we could involve missionaries who are embedded and accepted in these different cultures. I don’t believe we should depend on a particular religious group, nor should we focus on locating water or education for a specific religious group. To get as broad support as possible, we don’t want to make this a competition between religions, manufacturers or even borders. The struggle should only be against what pollutes drinking water. The biggest problem is financing. Financing can be done in a number of ways.
