Water is a colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms. As the saying goes, water is life simply because we need water for virtually everything-drinking, food, bathing, washing, manufacturing, construction, farming, and much more.
In the world of survival of the fittest created that way by unchecked free-market capitalism, this highly needed water is shamefully not accessible to hundreds of millions of people conveniently or cleanly.
Compassionate Capitalism recognizes the importance of water to humanity as well as the social responsibility needed to ensure that it is accessible to all regardless of their economic status. The development rankings, therefore, guide communities in the world where the need is great for increased convenient access to clean and affordable water which is then followed by knowledge and information, capital investments, collaborations, and various other initiatives to ensure improved access.
