the BEST outfit that I have seen for water problems ... the military from Austria. YES - Austria. I know, I know. Nobody knows about them!!

Austria (not Australia) has a special military unit that assists with disasters. They are trained and well equipped for disaster support. Especially for purifying water and providing clean drinking water. Their team is AWESOME at this job.

I saw them in 2002 in Africa. I HOPE that they are still doing this. I HOPE that they are on the way to Kathmandu.

The world needs more specialized military units like this. It makes a tremendous difference when people contribute in this way!
