The Water Crisis is a Health Crisis

 

It is 2025,  and our world is facing a sharp increase in catastrophic environmental phenomena. Here at Hong Kong, where we at ReGen operate, we have recently witnessed consecutive black rainstorm signal warnings, signifying precipitation north of 70 mm per hour. Meanwhile, other corners of the world are experiencing severe water scarcity.

Take Japan, for example, who is hit with a record-breaking heatwave and drought. This affected the nation’s rice yield, which in turn had an indirect impact on the global food market. At ReGen, we do not stress this enough: the water crisis is not just a trivial problem — it is a health crisis.

 

Let’s zoom out to understand how we reached this point. For most of human existence, freshwater channels, reservoirs, and ecosystems were treated with reverence. Rain was explained with religious or cultural anecdotes, and the entire water cycle was seen as sacred. Over time, through globalization and industrailization, much of nature, including water, has been taken for granted. Humans began to contaminate these vital resources in the name of technological advancement. But all of that could only go on for so long, until civilization began to feel the damage it had wreaked upon its environment. As much as it hurts to admit it, that time has come.

Today, we experience extreme water instability, a problem that not only makes life difficult for the underprevileged in and of itself, but is also often taken advantage of geopolitically, worsening the situation. The world urgently needs to develop decentralized freshwater source and infrastructures. For coastal regions, this means exploring ocean water desalination. For landlocked locations, we must explore the safe extraction of brackish groundwater. These technologies are proven, and at ReGen, we have developed the infrastructure to desalinate and create irrigation-ready freshwater. Our solutions are designed to be specifically suitable for your unique terrain, crop needs, and land size.

If it is still not clear why ReGen is the answer, stick with us. ReGen allows drought-prone countries to be less reliant on high-pressure freshwater storages like lakes. Our process improves the local terrain’s salinity levels, which can lead to higher yields and healthier crops. By encouraging countries to invest in local water solutions, we can begin to alleviate the damage that has already been done.
