World Water Week's theme is "Water for People and Progress." The progress: 2.2bn people still had no safely managed drinking water in 2024, and diarrhoeal disease is the 2nd biggest killer of under-5s in LMICs. #WorldWaterWeek 🔗 www.worldwaterweek.org 🔗 www.springsproject.eu

#Floods and #droughts don't just disrupt daily life; they mobilise contamination. Overwhelmed sanitation. Pathogens in shrinking water sources. Unsafe alternatives. Extreme weather is a delivery system for #WaterborneDisease. Another axis of the loop bit.ly/4tJGrOj #BreakTheLoop #ThePoopLoop

The way we live pushes the planet past its limits and those limits exist for a reason. Crossing #PlanetaryBoundaries makes water, food, and climate less stable. That means more extreme weather, and more risk of #DiarrhoealDisease for the world's most vulnerable. ⤵️ bit.ly/4tJGrOj #BreakTheLoop

@wwattribution.bsky.social confirmed climate change made the January 2026 rainfall ~40% more intense. The science is robust. The research is consistent. Yet the gap between what the evidence shows and what policy delivers remains wide — and vulnerable communities are paying the price.

SPRINGS project @springsproject.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

The same floodwaters that contaminated drinking sources also destroyed the clinics and supply chains needed to respond to the outbreak. Climate shock → infrastructure collapse → disease outbreak → overwhelmed health system → preventable deaths. One event. One connected chain.

The floods in Mozambique didn't just displace 720,000+ people. They destroyed the infrastructure meant to protect them from disease: 💧 229 health facilities damaged or flooded 💧 Cholera cases 7× higher than 2025 💧 Main national road severed — helicopters deployed to deliver medicines
