Water around the world
Although most of our work is UK based, and not all of it is about water, we are passionately interested in global issues about water.
Inspired by Kanu’s comment about he used water in Delhi, we thought who better to talk about water in different countries than the people who actually live there?

We look forward to it becoming a page full of lively and thought provoking blogs. If you would like to contribute to this page please contact info@ech2o.co.uk
