The World is Running Out of Water
The world is "running out of water," Makasa Looking Horse says, and if we don't take action soon, it will be too late. Looking Horse, from Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario, Canada, is one of the hosts of the Ohneganos Ohnegahdę:gyo -- Let's Talk about Water podcast, which won a 2021 David Suzuki Foundation Future Ground Prize. The prize recognizes youth-led movements. It's a podcast created, the Suzuki Foundation says, to "engage Indigenous communities and disseminate research findings by facilitating meaningful discussion about water issues and climate change."
Looking Horse points to Aberfoyle, Ontario, where BlueTriton Brands, Inc., an American beverage company based in Connecticut, has permits to take 3.6 million litres of water a day out of an aquifer there. BlueTriton is the new name of the giant corporation better known as Nestlé Waters North America. The name was changed to BlueTriton Brands in 2021.
She says "they're making millions off our water and selling it. And the thing about aquifer waters that it takes 6,000 to 10,000 years for that water to filter through the ground. We'll never see that water within our lifetime again and that's why it's so important that we stop water extraction."
BlueTriton says, in a report from November 2021, that it has conducted "extensive testing and studies over the years to ensure that their operations do not diminish the availability of water for other users or the environment." The company says "permit conditions require BlueTriton to monitor the natural and pumping-related variations in groundwater and surface water levels." The permit was renewed by the Ontario government in 2021 and runs until November 2026.
Looking Horse's commitment to protecting water was passed down from her parents. Her mother is Dawn Martin-Hill, one of the founders of the Indigenous studies program at McMaster University and the winner of the University of Oklahoma's International Water Prize, for her commitment to improving water security for the people of the Six Nations of the Grand River.
Her father is Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe. He was given the responsibility at age 12, the youngest keeper in history. Looking Horse says her path into activism and water sovereignty didn't happen overnight. It was a long and encompassing journey full of passion for earth, prayer for water and everything on earth.
Similar to Looking Horse, the United Nations (UN) also has concerns about how much water humans can access. According to a UN report, by 2025 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two thirds of the world's population could be living under "water stressed conditions."
In June of 2019, Looking Horse hand delivered a cease and desist letter from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council to Nestlé Waters in Aberfoyle. In 2021, the council sent another letter to BlueTriton, after the company changed its name, saying "the majority of our people at Six Nations do not have access to clean drinking water... we declare your activities to remove [aquifer] waters under our territories unpermitted and demand that you cease your activity immediately."
The fight for water sovereignty and for clean drinking water continues for Looking Horse. "The urgency worldwide is huge because the world is running out of water. This is only one example of exploitative extraction by a big corporation. This doesn't include all of the pollution and micro plastics that are living in waterways and systems across the globe," she said.
"I've been praying for water and working with water for a very long time, and that's where it started," she said. "You start to learn how valuable water is on a spiritual level, but also on a statistic level. The world is really in a water crisis. So, it's in our culture to protect the water and have a responsibility."

Renewing Life: The Art of Water Damage Restoration
Water damage can wreak havoc on homes and businesses, causing structural issues, mold growth, and health hazards. Whether it's from a burst pipe, flooding, or a leaky roof, the aftermath of water damage demands swift and effective restoration.
Understanding Water Damage Restoration
Water damage restoration is not just about fixing what's visible; it's about addressing hidden moisture, preventing mold growth, and restoring the affected area to its pre-damage condition. This intricate process requires expertise, specialized equipment, and a systematic approach.
The Restoration Process
First, professionals assess the extent of the damage, identifying affected areas and developing a tailored restoration plan. Next, they extract standing water using powerful pumps and vacuums, followed by thorough drying using air movers and dehumidifiers.
Advanced Techniques
Advanced techniques such as infrared cameras and moisture meters help detect hidden moisture pockets, ensuring comprehensive drying and preventing future issues. Additionally, antimicrobial treatments may be applied to inhibit mold growth and sanitize the area.
Why Professional Restoration Matters
While DIY attempts may seem tempting, professional water damage restoration offers several advantages. Certified technicians have the expertise to mitigate risks, salvage belongings, and restore properties efficiently.
Preserving Health and Safety
Prompt restoration is crucial for mitigating health risks associated with water damage. Mold spores can proliferate within 24-48 hours, posing respiratory concerns and exacerbating allergies. Professional restoration helps safeguard occupants' health and well-being.
Preventing Secondary Damage
Failure to address water damage promptly can lead to secondary issues such as structural deterioration and electrical hazards. Professional restoration mitigates these risks, preserving the integrity of the property and minimizing long-term damage.
Choosing the Right Restoration Partner
When selecting a restoration company, consider their experience, certifications, and reputation. Look for firms that prioritize customer satisfaction, offer transparent pricing, and provide comprehensive services tailored to your needs.
Customer-Centric Approach
A customer-centric restoration company understands the stress and disruption caused by water damage. They prioritize clear communication, timely updates, and compassionate support throughout the restoration process.
Commitment to Excellence
Choose a restoration partner committed to excellence, with a track record of delivering exceptional results. By entrusting your property to experienced professionals, you can rest assured that it will be restored to its former glory.
