It is "T" minus 5 days until the debut of "Waves of Change" the photo-documentary project intended to create awareness of the world water situation and to demonstrate the impact of improved water education on quality of life. In light of of this I am presenting a photo a day until the launch. The key message today is that access to water is not always enough. That water needs to be clean and safe to keep people healthy. The image in this post showcases that fact. Here a group of people gather beside a pipe from the Madurai City Corporation in the urban slum known as Sellur in Southern India. Every other day during a window of time they can collect water from the city. Unfortunately this is not safe, clean water and the chance for even further contamination is evident as it is only inches away from the sludge in the other water source, the Pandalgudi Canal.
