The Healthy Waters Initiative is a broad-based public affairs program intended to raise awareness and generate action on issues related to water — an essential part of healthy living.

All human beings need an adequate, safe and accessible supply of water for healthy living and just to stay alive, yet many millions of people around the world face water shortages and a daily struggle to secure safe water.

The impact of water issues on the healthy living of individuals and the healthy living of global societies will only grow in coming years. It is crucial that we learn to manage this precious resource before it's too late. The healthy living theme is central to the Healthy Waters Initiative, and is also at the heart of Dr. Mike Magee's book Healthy Waters: What Every Health Professional Should Know About Water.
