I saw the advert notification and also took note that there is no content on comparison to other charitable needs and criticism.

Many of the areas that have water problems also have problems with poor general education, high and rapidly increasing populations and, as a link between the two, poor standards of education for women. Several locations additionally habitually suffer from periodic droughts and famines and, arguably, the drilling of deep water wells and the resultant lowering of water tables will not help. Many developed countries mainly operate from the use of clean water reservoirs for the majority of their water supply and the use of means such as electricity consuming pumps in energy lacking locations must be questionable. One source for further background information is the David Attenborough documentary episode of Horizon, "How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth" which invests significant attention to the topic of water.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on WaterAid. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20111002203134/http://www.wateraid.org/international/about_us/newsroom/archive/5118.asptohttp://www.wateraid.org/international/about_us/newsroom/archive/5118.asp

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

• Intelligent Giving should be removed from External Links, as it's closed down and the link is dead.89.242.32.207 (talk) 13:01, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I also removed a few more superfluous ones. EMsmile (talk) 15:29, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm doing some updates and additions, but as a disclaimer, I am an employee of WaterAid - though I'm sourcing everything from public documents and pages. I'm an experienced Wikipedian on fr.wiki but not here so please let me know if I'm wrong in some ways! Thanks, le Korrigan →bla 14:22, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
