Unlocking 178 Trillion Liters of Renewable Freshwater to support the world
Arctic Freshwater is committed to addressing the global water crisis by unlocking the potential of 178 trillion liters of renewable freshwater. We specialize in providing pure, sustainable water solutions to meet the growing demands of both population and industrial applications. Our approach is rooted in innovation, collaboration, and a strong commitment to environmental and social responsibility. We are building a global coalition of like- minded organizations working together to make a difference.
In November 2022, leaders from three Indigenous communities in Ontario and New Brunswick joined Arctic Freshwater's leadership as part of a delegation travelling to Iceland. Meetings were held with Iceland's First Lady Eliza Jean Reid, Canadian Ambassador to Iceland Jeannette Menzies, and many experts in water and volcanic purification.
Globally, 2 billion people (26% of the population) do not have safe drinking water and 3.6 billion (46%) lack access to safely managed sanitation
The global urban population facing water scarcity is projected to double from 930 million in 2016 to 1.7–2.4 billion people in 2050.
Between two and three billion people experience water shortages for at least one month per year, posing severe risks to livelihoods, notably through food security and access to electricity.
Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours carrying water every day. Collecting water is tedious and adds to the unpaid domestic and care work which is at the root of Gender inequalities.
The average woman in rural Africa walks about 6 kilometers (approximately 3.7 miles) every day to haul 40 pounds of water.
More than 800 children under 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and unsafe hygiene practices.
Our mission is to provide reliable and sustainable water solutions that contribute to solving global water scarcity. We are dedicated to supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6) by ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
