Water shortage is a huge problem in several countries. Many households, however, still use water without paying attention to how much they use. A Kickstarter-backed company, Altered, created a simple device that aims to reduce water waste that comes from running faucets.
An Arizona State University spin-off company, Zero Mass Water, is creating access to water for all, just like the air we breathe.
Their special solar panels pull vaporize the air, condense it into water and then filter it using minerals.
Sonam Wangchuk lives and works in the Ladakh region of India, high in the Himalayas. This harsh mountain area is experiencing acute water shortages due to climate change. Sonam, who is an engineer and educator, found a simple but ingenious way to store water using artificial glaciers that will irrigate trees and crops.

Paramahansa Yogananda on Spiritualizing Family Life
The greatest of all happiness, next to divine happiness, is to be at peace with one’s immediate relations, those with whom one must live every day in the year. When people try to handle the extremely complicated machinery of human feelings without any training whatsoever, the consequent results are often disastrous. Very few persons realize that most of our happiness lies in the art of understanding the law of human behavior.
The greatest thing a husband or wife can wish for the spouse is spirituality; for soul unfoldment brings out the divine qualities of understanding, patience, thoughtfulness, love. But each should remember that the desire for spiritual growth cannot be forced on the other. Live love yourself, and your goodness will inspire all your loved ones.
We should make ourselves attractive by wearing the fine garment of genuinely courteous language. We should first of all be courteous to our immediate relatives. When one can do that, he will be habitually kind to all people. Real family happiness has its foundation on the altar of understanding and kind words. It is not necessary to agree on everything in order to show kindness. Calm silence, sincerity, and courteous words, whether one is agreeing or disagreeing with others, mark the person who knows how to behave.
I have joined my heart to thee: all that exists art thou.
O Lord, beloved of my heart, thou art the home of all;
where indeed is the heart in which thou dost not dwell?– Jafar
As I say to devotees all the time, if you would win Daya Ma’s love, love my God. That intoxicates me. When I see devotees who love my Beloved, I am drunk with joy. Nothing else can reach Daya Mata’s heart, in that sense—nothing personal. I love those who love my Beloved. I love those who are striving on the path. I don’t care what their weaknesses are—a thousand million weaknesses can be there. That is not important to me, for I know that if they are sincere in their efforts to love God and follow Guru’s guidance, they will surely overcome those impediments and find that perfect freedom that is our birthright as souls.
–Daya Mata (‘Finding the Joy Within You’, p255)

“There is none as forlorn as I am, and none as Compassionate as You, what need is there to test us now? May my mind surrender to Your Word, please, bless Your humble servant with this perfection. I am sacrifice, a sacrifice to the LORD. O LORD, why are You silent? For so many incarnations, I have been separated from YOU, LORD, I dedicate this life to YOU. Says Ravi Das (BHAGAT), placing hopes in YOU, I live, it is so long since I have gazed upon the Blessed Vision of Your DARSHAN
