the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them
on their right hand, and on their left.14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and
went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his

watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire
and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,14:25 And took off
their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said,
Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the
Egyptians.14:26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over
the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their
chariots, and upon their horsemen.14:27 And Moses stretched forth his hand
over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared;
and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the

European Union about whater
http://create2009.europa.eu/index_en.html
In the EU, sets legislation on drinking water quality in addition to factors
such as how, where and when water can be extracted from the environment.
Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23
October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of
water policy, known as the water framework directive, is the primary piece
of legislation governing drinking water.
Each member state is responsible for establishing the required policing
measures to ensure that the legislation is implemented. For example, in the
UK the Drinking Water Inspectorate polices the water companies.

Water Resources The total volume of water on Earth is about 1.4
billion km3. The volume of freshwater resources is around 35
million km3, or about 2.5 percent of the total volume.
Water Use
The world's six billion people are appropriating 54 percent of all
the accessible freshwater contained in rivers, lakes and
underground aquifers.
Drinking Water and Sanitation The UN suggests that each person
needs 20-50 litres of safe freshwater a day to ensure their basic
needs for drinking, cooking and cleaning.
Water, Agriculture and Food Security The daily drinking water
requirement per person is 2-4 litres, but it takes 2 000 to 5 000
litres of water to produce one person's daily food.
Water Pollution, Environmental
Degradation and Disasters In developing countries, 70 percent of
http://www.unwater.org/flashindex.html
industrial wastes are dumped untreated into waters where they
pollute the usable water supply.

VOICE OF YOUTH ABOUT WHATER
Because children are particularly vulnerable
http://www.unicef.org/voy/explore/wes/explore_wes.php
to disease caused by polluted water, basic
sanitation and clean water are especially
important for them and their families.
Children are also in a great position to help
spread information about hygiene and
sanitation. In doing so, they improve their
own health as well as the health of their
communities.
These pages contain stories of children
around the world who are benefiting from,
and contributing to, water, environment and
sanitation projects in their communities.
