Water droplets on a window reflect Housing Development Board apartment flats in Singapore
Water droplets on a window reflect Housing Development Board apartment flats in Singapore March 22, 2010. The Earth is literally covered in water, but more than a billion people lack access to clean for drinking or sanitation as most water is salty or dirty. March 22 is World Water Day.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nicky Loh captures a poignant reflection of the stark contrast between abundance and scarcity. The image showcases water droplets delicately adorning a window, acting as tiny mirrors that reflect the towering Housing Development Board apartment flats in Singapore. It serves as a powerful reminder of the world's paradoxical relationship with water. March 22,2010 - World Water Day - adds an extra layer of significance to this photograph. While our planet is predominantly covered in water, it is disheartening to acknowledge that over one billion people still lack access to clean drinking water or proper sanitation facilities due to its salinity or contamination. The juxtaposition depicted here symbolizes both hope and despair. On one hand, we witness modern urban living represented by these high-rise apartments, showcasing human progress and development. On the other hand, the presence of water droplets highlights the pressing global issue of inadequate access to clean water resources for millions around the world. Nicky Loh's lens invites us to contemplate our responsibility towards ensuring equitable distribution and preservation of this precious resource. As we admire this visually stunning composition, let us also be reminded that World Water Day serves as an annual call-to-action for governments, organizations, and individuals alike – urging them to address this critical challenge facing humanity today.
