Don’t miss this. Blue Planet Run is a book with over 250 awe-inspiring photographs captured by some of the world’s top photojournalists. The idea is to help you know about water problems faced by people in different parts of the globe.
Here are some pictures from the ‘Blue Planet Run’ book:
40 billion - The number of hours spent each year in Africa due to the need to collect water.
People wrestle in Delhi for water.
The hardcover sells for around $45 on Amazon.com but they now provide a PDF version - Blue_Planet_Run.pdf (38 MB) - that anyone can download for free. You don’t need an Amazon account to download the book in PDF format.
And if you like to see some more pictures from the book, check this photo gallery from Time Magazine. Thanks Steve.

Thanks for sharing this Amit and promoting this cause. I sincerely hope this series of pictures can put some sense in people who waste water without thinking a second about it.

This 122 page PDF is packed with 300 High quality, Thought-evoking photographs. But, to my dismay- its extremly rich graphic makes fonts difficult to read- without zooming to 300%. Bit uncomfortable to read it.
