India, Pakistan, Brazil and West African farmers learned the latest irrigation technology and rainwater harvesting technology.

The company has launched a brand which is characterized by stone washed denim, that is, rubbing denim with rock, but not using water.

All the jeans on the company were stitched with labels, urging customers to reduce the washing and wash them in cold water.

Lewis Te Laws suggested that jeans should be washed less. In theory, jeans can be put in the fridge and kill bacteria that make the jeans smell.

It is not just the clothing giants who have a sense of security: Food and beverage groups, tobacco companies and metals and mineral company are also beginning to face their high dependence on water.

Pepsi Cola, for example, has accepted a factory in Georgia to disinfect plastic bottles with purified air instead of water.

The Frito-Lay brands provides the drought resistant potato strain to farmers and provides a soil monitoring method to allow farmers to water when crops are needed.

The Carbon Disclosure Project is a team that monitors greenhouse gas emissions from companies. Recently, they have increased water security.

Last year, the team sent a questionnaire to the world's largest companies. 150 companies responded that nearly 150 of the 150 companies reported that water problems had "adverse effects" on their businesses.
