Byron Pederson
Byron Pederson knows that in some areas of the world water isn’t as plentiful a commodity as it is in the United States. That’s why the co-founder of Instant Tax Solutions wants to spread the word about how far a few dollars can go in a poverty-stricken country that needs water. Recently, Byron Pederson met with the staff of Interviewing Experts to discuss the work some missionaries are doing to help bring water to those who need it most.
Interviewing Experts: “Byron Pederson, what are some of the questions you get most often about drilling for water?”
Byron Pederson: “Many people wonder if there’s a way to find water in the desert. One of the best ways is to single out areas with a lot of vegetation. By drilling within the area of a tree’s underground branches, you may find water.”
Interviewing Experts: “Once you’ve found a well, how much water can you expect to find?”
Byron Pederson: “It all depends on the well, but usually you’ll find that the wider the well, the more plentiful it is.”
Interviewing Experts: “Byron Pederson, explain to us how safe this well water is for drinking.”
Byron Pederson: “Because much of this water is underground, where livestock and sewage can’t contaminate it, it’s usually very safe.”
Interviewing Experts: “Byron Pederson, what about saltwater? Is it safe to drink?”
Byron Pederson: “No. The salt content actually can cause dehydration. It’s a must to find freshwater.”
Interviewing Experts: Some spiritualists believe in dousing. Byron Pederson, is dousing a good way to find water in the desert?
Byron Pederson: “Because of the religious beliefs in the affected areas, dousing can be very off-putting to locals. It’s best to find water through more earthly methods.”
Interviewing Experts: “How much do people need to donate to make a difference?”
Byron Pederson: “Just seventy-five American dollars can actually provide water to an entire village. Any amount people can give can make a difference.”
Interviewing Experts: “Byron Pederson, are there other ways people can help?”
Byron Pederson: “What are most needed in these other countries are people to do the work. By pitching in and helping, people really can change the world!”
About
Water is very important. Sadly, there are places or countries that do not even have a water supply. Just like Byron Pederson said, a small amount is needed in order to help provide a water supply to a small village.
@Candace Klaus – It is amazing how we take water for granted. People in those villages treat it like gold! It really is just a small amount that villages need to survive. It puts things into perspective for us in the states. We definitely need to appreciate what we have! – Byron Pederson
Water has always been the number one problem, worldwide. There are some countries where water supply is limited. We often take it for granted in the US! This article inspires me to find a way to make an impact to those places who need our help! Thanks!
@Brian Mcdower – I’m glad you have the same heart as me. I definitely don’t want to just stand by and not do anything. We CAN make a difference for these countries who need water. Please spread the word and let’s try and make a change. – Byron Pederson
We really are blessed that we do not have a water problem! There are people that are wasting water like there is no tomorrow. This article is a wake up call to all of us. Byron Pederson is right, only a small amount of money can be used to solve this problem for little villages.
@Greg Lewiston – Yes, I agree. We are blessed! I’m glad that you agree – something needs to be done. This is something that reminds you to always help out others when you can. – Byron Pederson
What we need is to unite and share something like what Byron Pederson is doing. There are so many problems in the world, but providing water for the basics is very key to our health. Let us not take granted of what we have!
@Andrea Hopkins – 100% Agree! Isn’t it funny how we take something so fundamental to our health for granted? We really are a spoiled country! Thank you for agreeing with me. – Byron Pederson
I never knew that there are countries having this kind of problem. I’m saddened to read of this, but am glad to know that there are people out there that are not ignoring it. Thank you, Byron, for sharing this informative article.
@Georgina Dysart – I’m glad I could educate you to the real world. Unfortunately – this is real! And now, you are one more person that is not ignoring or ignorant of the problem. Please spread the word! – Byron Pederson
