What should all Rotary clubs know about clean water projects?

Carolyn Crowley Meub, executive committee member for the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group, past governor of District 7870 (Vermont and New Hampshire, USA), and executive director for Pure Water for the World, responds:

First, know the importance of this work.  The basis of good health is access to clean, safe drinking water.  Experts say that unsanitary water is responsible for about 80 percent of all diseases in developing countries.  For most of the world, clean water is medicine.
