WATER


"All praise be Yours, my Lord, through Sister Water,
So useful, lowly, precious, and pure"
 
"Canticle of the Creatures" ... Francis of Assisi 


Aqua Fons Vitae: Orientations on Water: symbol of the cry of the poor and the cry of the Earth 
Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, Vatican City -- Mar 2020 
"Water is a symbol of regeneration because it is the drink we constantly need; it cleanses and constantly restores life.  It may be abused, rendered unusable and unsafe, polluted and dissipated, but the sheer necessity of it for life, human, animal and plant, requires us ... to jointly show responsibility and exercise care for our common home"


U.N. World Water Development Report 2020 
World Water Assessment Programme -- 21 Mar 2020 ​
“Climate change will affect the availability, quality and quantity of water needed for basic human needs, thus undermining enjoyment of the basic rights to safe drinking water and sanitation for billions of people”
