    WASH

    A healthy water sector in a country is a predictor for high GDP, lower poverty rates and – not surprisingly – lower child mortality. In our high-tech world it is hard to imagine that every day 800 kids under the age of five die due to ill health caused by lack of clean water and lack of sanitation. That’s nearly 300,000 boys and girls who die needlessly every year. It’s as if the entire population of Cincinnati or Pittsburgh would suddenly vanish. The UN came up with a holistic view on the problem – clean water sources without the presence of proper sanitation infrastructure won’t stay clean for long; proper sanitation without understanding basic hygiene won’t fly either. In comes the notion of WASH – an acronym for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. In today’s episode we delve into the world of WASH and talk about the challenges – both practical and financial. https://episodes.castos.com/5e0db8ae40e9f5-43113304/Waterline-EP29-WASH-MST-short-midroll.mp3 Download Episode (Mp3) Guests: Dr. (PhD) Aliza Inbal, Director – Pears Programme for Global Innovation Eng.

    “Yes I Can”: Persecution and Pursuit

    In 2003 Nik Kowsar had to flee his country – Iran – after life there, for him, became unbearable. 3 years earlier, a cartoon he drew, had an implied remark on a Muslim cleric. He was put in jail. Although he was released 6 days after his imprisonment – he had to choose between life under the IRGC’s boot – or life in exile. Nik is a clear and a loud voice against the Islamic Republic’s water sector (mis)management. The water challenges Iranians face is something that is quite lost amid the constant chatter about the sanctions imposed on Iran. It is expected that Iran will go thirsty very soon – unless changes to the current system will be implemented. This is the change that Nik Kowsar is pursuing. https://episodes.castos.com/5e0db8ae40e9f5-43113304/Waterline-EP26-Yes-I-Can-Persecution-and-Pursuit-short-midroll.mp3 Download Episode (Mp3) Music credits Music from https://filmmusic.io “Dewdrop Fantasy” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Music from https://filmmusic.io “Evening Melodrama” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Music from https://filmmusic.io “Scheming Weasel (faster version)” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Music from https://filmmusic.io “Winner Winner!” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Music from https://filmmusic.io “Dreamer” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Nir sayag – Waterline Theme Stay in touch! for updates follow the podcast on Facebook  where you can also join the conversation and give us feedback-  or email us at Waterline@podil.net  The post “Yes I Can”: Persecution and Pursuit appeared first on Waterline.
