VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quest Water Global, Inc. (OTCBB:QWTR) ("Quest" and/or "Quest Water" and or "Company"), an innovative water technology company, and developer of the AQUAtap™ Community Drinking Water Station and WEPSTM Atmospheric Water Extraction and Purification System, announced today that the Company has officially released 'World Without Water', a video developed and created to draw global attention to the worldwide water crisis. The video, which is being disseminated and publicized by Viral Network Inc. (“Viral”) and Megacast Media (“Megacast”), focuses on the impact the shortage of safe drinking water is having on the world's most vulnerable populations.
According to the United Nations' World Health Organization unsafe water is responsible for more than three billion cases of illness and five million deaths annually. The death rate for children from the lack of clean drinking water alone is estimated at one every twenty seconds. The video is intended to build mass awareness of the global water crisis and to encourage people to take action by donating to a clean water specific charity.
"We are extremely pleased to play a small part in raising awareness for this untold crisis of our time that kills millions of vulnerable people every year," said John Balanko, Quest Water CEO & President. "'World Without Water' essentially shows us that if we sit back and do nothing the water crisis will only get worse and millions will continue to die. The video was created to draw attention to the issue in a visually appealing and powerful way, and has the potential to get shared extensively through social media networks worldwide.”
The video is available free of charge on YouTube and can be viewed at http://youtu.be/RfWu359hP1c. Viewers are encouraged to take action themselves and are invited to visit http://www.questwatersolutions.com/take-action to view the video, donate to a water charity, calculate their own water footprint, and discover 100s of water saving tips.
"The global water crisis is something every one of us should be concerned about, and we believe our network of socially conscientious media will be interested in sharing it with their audiences worldwide," said David Duggan, President of Viral Network Inc. “The video has been created to be both engaging and accessible to a wide range of audiences. The goal is to raise awareness. With any luck it will raise much needed funds for the water charities doing whatever they can to solve the problem.”
