Giornata mondiale dell'acqua 2026

24 febbraio 2026

Giornata mondiale dell'acqua 2026

LifeSaver è stata fondata in risposta alla carenza d'acqua in seguito a disastri naturali, e ancora oggi forniamo soluzioni idriche alle iniziative umanitarie in tutto il mondo.
Il 22 marzo di ogni anno, dal 1993, Giornata mondiale dell'acqua è una ricorrenza delle Nazioni Unite, ideata per sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sui 2,1 miliardi di persone che non hanno accesso all'acqua potabile. Ogni anno si concentra su un solo aspetto della povertà idrica.
Nel 2026, il tema sarà Acqua e genere.

Dove scorre l'acqua, cresce l'uguaglianza

La crisi idrica globale colpisce tutti, ma non in egual misura. Quando le persone non dispongono di acqua potabile sicura e di servizi igienici vicino a casa, le disuguaglianze crescono e le donne e le ragazze ne subiscono le conseguenze.

Raccolgono l'acqua, la gestiscono e si prendono cura delle persone che si ammalano a causa di acqua non sicura. Perdono tempo, salute, sicurezza e opportunità. E troppo spesso i sistemi che governano l'acqua lasciano donne e ragazze fuori dal processo decisionale, dalla leadership, dai finanziamenti e dalla rappresentanza.

Questo rende la crisi idrica una crisi femminile.

Lo sapevate?

1,8 miliardi di persone non dispongono ancora di acqua potabile in casa e in due famiglie su tre le donne sono le principali responsabili della raccolta dell'acqua. (WHO/UNICEF, 2023)
In 53 Paesi con dati disponibili, le donne e le ragazze dedicano 250 milioni di ore al giorno alla raccolta dell'acqua, oltre tre volte di più degli uomini e dei ragazzi.
(UN Women/UNDESA, 2024)
A livello globale, acqua, servizi igienici e igiene non sicuri sono responsabili della morte di circa 1.000 bambini sotto i cinque anni ogni giorno.
(WHO, 2023)

L'ONU vuole che le donne abbiano il tempo e le opportunità di istruzione necessarie per diventare parte della soluzione; per contribuire a risolvere le sfide della purificazione e dell'approvvigionamento idrico su larga scala.

Come possiamo aiutare?

LifeSaver continuerà a collaborare con i governi, gli enti di beneficenza e le organizzazioni umanitarie per contribuire a fornire aiuti di emergenza ovunque siano necessari. I contenitori Jerrycan e Cube sono stati progettati per fornire alle famiglie acqua potabile sicura per molti mesi, mentre vengono effettuate riparazioni o migliorie alle forniture interrotte. Ma offriamo anche soluzioni più permanenti che possono essere installate nel cuore di una comunità per fornire acqua potabile a tutti.

Il depuratore d'acqua comunitario LifeSaver C1 può trasformare fino a mezzo milione di litri di acqua contaminata utilizzando un solo filtro. È l'acqua per 100 persone per oltre quattro anni. È sufficiente collegarlo a una fonte d'acqua - un serbatoio rialzato per la raccolta dell'acqua piovana o una fonte a terra con una pompa manuale per creare pressione - e aprire il rubinetto. Di recente abbiamo sostenuto Splash Projects con un'installazione in Zambia - per saperne di più qui.

Acqua sicura e istantanea dove serve. Niente più lunghe camminate quotidiane per raggiungere fonti lontane. Meno morti e malattie prevenibili. E tempo per loro di imparare, crescere e diventare parte di una soluzione più ampia.

Gettiamo loro un'ancora di salvezza

Abbiamo programmato il lancio del nostro filtro personale per l'acqua LifeSaver Lifeline in concomitanza con la Giornata mondiale dell'acqua 2026 su , per contribuire a sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sui milioni di persone che hanno bisogno di aiuto.

Molti dei nostri clienti scelgono di viaggiare in luoghi dove l'acqua potabile è scarsa. Hanno il lusso di pianificare l'assenza di accesso all'acqua, il tempo per ricercare la soluzione migliore per soddisfare le loro esigenze e i fondi per investire in quella soluzione, sia che si tratti di una lunga escursione nella campagna locale o di un epico viaggio overlanding in un altro continente. È facile dimenticare che, per molte delle persone che incrociano nel loro viaggio, la lotta quotidiana per l'acqua dolce non è una sfida personale, ma una questione di sopravvivenza.

Per questo motivo, per ogni 500 Lifeline che vendiamo, ne regaleremo una a una comunità che ne ha bisogno: una C1 sarà donata a un ente di beneficenza che potrà assicurarsi che vada dove è più necessaria. In questo modo libereremo il tempo e l'energia attualmente spesi per la raccolta dell'acqua e daremo a tutti, soprattutto alle donne e alle ragazze, maggiori possibilità di scelta per vivere al meglio la propria vita.

Top-tier kit for peace of mind

Gemini saidI added this to my kit for peace of mind on longer hill walks, and I have to say, I was genuinely surprised at how light and compact it is. It weighs next to nothing, so it’s perfect for chucking into a rucksack without feeling weighed down.The build quality is solid, and the independent safety certification provides real confidence when you're looking at a stream and wondering if it's safe. To give it a proper trial, I let my teenage son test it out in a local stream—and I’m happy to report he is still alive and well! You do need to prep it at home by soaking it in clean water first, so you can’t exactly use it straight out of the box in a sudden pinch, but for a reliable, portable bit of gear for hiking and camping, it really hits the mark.

Great certified filtration, adaptable, and a good price.

If you do a lot of overnight hiking you’ll probably already own at least one of these, as they’re great for emergency water. This one has all the right certification, which you really, *really* need, if you’re going to start drinking random water from a natural source – especially if you’re in the middle of no-where. I myself have a 1 Ltr lifestraw Go, and a standard lifestraw which is very similar in function and shape to this, so it’s interesting to compare these two market leaders.To be honest, it can actually be quite hard to trust it the first few times, but really, it’s no worse than having to trust water purification tablets, and there’s nothing worse than taking tablets out with you and then realizing that they’re out of date. If you’re going to get a straw-style filter, it’s definitely worth choosing between the two market leaders, both of whom have a lot of experience and certification between them.Which you choose can depend on where you’re using it, so a little research to see what organisms might be in the water in the country you’re travelling/camping/hiking in is definitely worth it. Though given that they’re practically the same price, and this Lifesaver straw has higher filtration, as well as a carbon filter, it seems to stand above the competition.The Lifesaver filters around 5,000 litres of water to make it fit for drinking, and like all of its ilk, they actually get harder to drink through as they begin to become overloaded att he end of their life, so they basically turn themselves off if they’re no longer functioning. The Lifesaver also has a changeable internal carbon filter which is going to give a cleaner taste. This lasts for around 100 litres then needs swapping out, but a nice feature is that if it’s exhausted then you can still use the lifesaver to filter water safely. The carbon’s simply there to improve taste. Since it’s March and at my age I’m strictly a two-season camper, I haven’t tried this with stream water yet, only tap water. The taste is clean and pleasant, and the carbon filter should make drinking stream water a bit more bearable. I tend to take a squeezy foil pack of concentrated juice if I know I’ll be drinking stream water, or only use it boiled in tea, but the carbon filter does the trick nicely.The Lifesaver also seems to stand above my old Lifestraw in terms of longevity. This straw can filter an impressive 5,000 litres, compared to my Lifestraw’s 4,000 litres. Both are comparable in their ability to filter bacteria, protozoa, sediment, microplastics and cysts, but the Lifesaver also has the certified ability to filter out viruses, which becomes more important if you intend to use it abroad, particularly in parts of Europe, Africa and India.The Lifesaver can also act like a Sawyer Squeeze, in that you can theoretically use it with a squeeze bag of stream water connected directly to the ‘contaminated’ end of the straw and squeeze it through to drink, or in a gravity system, allowing water to drip through it from a bag when hung up overnight. I haven’t tried it yet, as you need the correct squeeze-bag to connect to the Lifesaver, but for me, that would be my preferred method. You really can’t rely on having a handy stream nearby when you’re on the go, so a squeeze system this is perfect, as you can carry smaller amounts of water with you. That’s how I use my existing Lifestraw with the 1 litre bottle. I’m also really not fond of getting down on my knees on the wet, usually slippery and often unstable banks of a random stream, getting my trousers unnecessarily wet, and leaning my bodyweight over the water precariously every time I want a drink. Plus sometimes it’s really not practical to reach the water, and you’re lowering or throwing a container on a string out to gather it. You really do need to be collecting water in one form or another to use these comfortably. Having just the straw and a roll-up squeeze bag, plus a gravity system if I’m wild camping, is the perfect lightweight, minimalist combo.It’s good to see that the company also has a system where they hand out some of their product to countries in need for free, which for me is a great selling point.For me, then, I think this Lifesaver straw has edged out my ol’ Lifestraw. It has better filtering abilities, a swappable carbon filter, and it’s really adaptable for squeeze or gravity systems, which I like. The Lifestraw offers all of these options except the filtering quality, but they come at a higher price. Like everyone, if I’m close enough to buy and carry bottle water I do, but a filter straw of some type really should be in your kit if you hike more than 30 minutes from main roads, even if you only day-hike. Given the price per unit, the certified filtration, and the adaptability, I really can’t fault this brand. Highly recommended.

Simple, compact emergency water filter

The LifeSaver Lifeline is a compact straw style water filter designed for outdoor activities and emergency use, and it does exactly what it claims in a very simple and portable format.Using it is straightforward. You simply place one end into a water source such as a stream or lake and drink through the straw. The internal filter removes bacteria, parasites, sediment and microplastics, producing clean drinking water without needing chemicals or waiting time.One of the key advantages is its capacity. The replaceable filter cartridge can treat up to about 5,000 litres of water, which is far more than many basic straw filters. It also includes an activated carbon stage that helps reduce chemicals and improve taste and odour.The device is lightweight, compact and easy to carry, making it well suited to hiking, camping or keeping in an emergency kit. The robust outer casing and lanyard also make it practical to keep attached to a bag or belt.Like most straw style filters, the main limitation is that you generally have to drink directly from the water source unless you use an optional pouch or container. That is typical for this type of design but worth keeping in mind if you prefer to filter water into bottles.Overall this is a simple, reliable and highly portable water filter that is ideal for outdoor adventures or emergency preparedness, especially given its long filtration capacity and recognised safety certifications.

Love it!

It’ll be an unendingly useful bit of kit. It’s small enough to put anywhere and sturdy and very easy to organise and use. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Thanks for leaving such a fabulous 5 star review Celia. We'd love to see pictures of it in action - if you have the time. Safe travels.

Prepared for Anything – Reliable, Compact, and Genuinely Reassuring Water Filter

First off, the NSF certification is what sold it for me. There’s a lot of similar products out there making big claims, but having that independent verification gives genuine peace of mind when you’re drinking from a stream and trying not to think too hard about what might be upstream.It’s compact and light enough to chuck into a running vest or backpack without noticing it, which is exactly what you want. I’ve used it both directly from a water source and from a bottle, and both worked without any fuss. It really is as simple as using a slightly oversized straw, no complicated setup or faffing about.Build quality feels solid, not like some of the cheaper disposable options, and the fact you can replace the filters makes it a much better long-term investment. For hiking, travel, or even just keeping in a bag “just in case”, it makes a lot of sense.Not something you’ll use every day, but when you do need it, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. One of those rare purchases where practicality actually wins over wishful thinking.
