In many countries, access to clean drinking water depends on tapping into a hidden treasure: groundwater. Groundwater is the 2022 theme of World Water Day, celebrated every March 22 since the United Nations started the observance in 1993.

Groundwater—stored underground in a body of porous rock or sand called an aquifer—accounts for most of the world's freshwater. A water project to reach an aquifer can cost anywhere from $1,000 to a whopping $30,000. The cost depends on several factors, including how remote the location, the cost relative to the local economy and the amount of rock to drill through. The depth ranges to hit clean water can range from 50 to 500 feet.

No matter the depth or location, the Living Water Project is dedicated to finding and tapping into these sources of clean water for the millions of people in need. Thank you for your support of our work!
