Water Scarcity - how to help recharge the local water source

# data[].attributes.body
Only 3% of the world’s water is fresh water, and two-thirds of that is tucked away in frozen glaciers or otherwise unavailable for our use. We are lucky  to not have a problem like this in Austria, but it is still an important topic. That's why i wanted to collect ways of saving water.

The water sources are replenished naturally by precipitation, as rainwater fills streambeds and soaks into grasslands, fields, and forests. Hard surfaces, however— buildings, roads, parking lots, driveways, and the roofs over our heads—impede this natural process.
We can help recharge local water sources by allowing rain to water the ground where it falls. This can be done through simple efforts, such as directing downspouts and gutters toward shrubbery or trees, or collecting rain in a barrel for outside use.
A rain barrel captures and stores water from the downspout of a rooftop gutter that can be used—through a spigot at the bottom of the barrel—to water a lawn or flower beds. Keeping the rain where it is meant to fall means more recharging of local water sources—and less wasteful rainwater runoff.(https://www.worldwildlife.org/threats/water-scarcity 18.05.2020)

Also important, a sustainable household. Here are some Tips: https://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/green-tips.

I am intrigued by the idea of „real-world labs“ („Reallabor“). For example the project „Quartier Zukunft – Labor Stadt“ in Karlsruhe: https://www.quartierzukunft.de. These labs are developing with the local community concrete possibilities and activities for a sustainable life in cities. People are actively participating, e.g. in creating ideas and projects for sustainable experimentes („NachhaltigkeitsExperimente“) or in doing self experiments e.g. in living one week plastic free or to travel climate friendly. Another example is the Future City Lab in Stuttgart. It is a Lab for sustainable culture of mobility (Reallabor für nachhaltige Mobilitätskultur): http://www.r-n-m.net/). They found very creative possibilites to use and transform the city, for example making parklets http://www.parklet-stuttgart.de/ or transforming the staircases! What I like in these examples is that many topics come together - city planning, artistic and creative ways of transforming spaces, community building,... - and are based on local needs, wishes and visions. As an outlook: We are trying to create ideas in this context now in Salzburg within the project „Spaces of cultural democracy“. (Elke)

Hello from Bridget McKenzie at  Climate Museum UK. This is to share my example of a cultural project that is working towards wellbeing in an Earth Crisis. That project is...Climate Museum UK. We help people have conversations about the planet's emergency, to help them express themselves, learn together and take action. When sharing yours, you don't need to add more detail than this. You can share more than one example.  https://climatemuseumuk.org/
