A human being needs a daily ration of about 2 to 5 l of water to survive. However, a fifth of the world population still has no access to drinking water.
This video shows how, with the construction of water pipes, reservoirs and water points, drinkable water is brought to overpopulated zones of Haiti. This system of irrigation used in the country regions, allows watering the fields and supplying water for the inhabitants of the villages. The video also gives professional advice and ideas about professions that deal with water.
This short film is part of the skills development campaign "Learning and Working" developed by UNESCO-UNEVOC.
