Humberto's Water Channel

Humberto Urriola is on a crusade. What drives this successful businessman's passion to challenge councils and governments to change the culture in how rain, industrial waste and storm water is collected and managed?

"We are in deep denial! What intelligent creature knowing that we depend on clean air, water and soil for our health and survival, use it as a toxic waste dump and not have any consequences! The picture for the future is gloomy!

Our methodology of water management has not changed in 2,000 years. We still today use the same methodology as the ancient Romans of our collection, distribution of clean water and the drainage of waste water. And like in ancient Rome, countless politicians today worldwide responsible for water management are fundamentally corrupt, and consequentially our water has also become corrupt".

6 years ago, in 1992, a world seminar attended by the top 1,600 scientist of this planet, well over half the Nobel Prize winners alive today, signed a document titled

"Business leaders and politicians have got to stop putting their heads in the sand and face reality! We must convince business leaders that by developing and investing in companies, products and projects that responsibly address climate change, water and other sustainability challenges, doesn’t mean lower returns on their investment – indeed, there is evidence that it can actually enhance them. It’s a win for our planet, a win both for humanity and industry."
