Your hub to reconnect with water
Explore how water connects everything – from your body to the planet. Articles, facts, and rituals that flip how you see water.
What is water.day?
water.day is a digital magazine and micro-learning space centred on water. We're designed to educate, inspire, and connect people around the topic of water, with a special focus on Gen Z and Young Millennials — but with content that resonates across all ages.
Why water, why now?
We drink it, shower in it, build cities around it – but most days, water is invisible to us. It’s either a bill to pay, a crisis headline, or something that “just comes from the tap”. That quiet disconnection shapes how we feel, how we consume, and how we imagine the future.
Tired of guilt-driven wellness? Water offers something real: a way back to agency that's tangible, accessible, and honest.
We feel disconnected
Water is everywhere in our lives, yet rarely in our consciousness or emotions.
We miss the full picture
Behind your cold shower, burger, and energy drink: physics, impact, and power you didn't know you had.
We need new rituals, not more guilt
Change starts with attention, not optimization. Curiosity, not pressure. Water, not another wellness trend.
What you’ll find inside water.day
Three ways to meet water in your everyday life – through stories, small rituals, and shared reflections.
Dive into interactive magazine articles
Stories you scroll, feel, and remember
Our longform pieces are built like digital journeys – with visuals, quotes, and prompts that invite you to pause, feel, and think. Each issue focuses on a specific theme, from urban rain to bath rituals to water and care.
Tiny facts, big perspective shifts
Reads you scroll, feel, and remember
Short, swipeable cards that turn complex water science and systems into human, shareable nuggets. Perfect for a 30-second scroll or to share with a friend or class.
Turn awareness into small daily actions
Turn showers, drinks, walks, and commutes into simple water rituals that fit into your real life.
One small water ritual a day
Pick from gentle prompts you can actually do: a shower check-in, a mindful sip, a balcony rain listening moment, a question to ask a friend. No pressure, just small practices that add up.
Find your daily water rhythm
Use the water calculator to get a gentle, personalized estimate of how much water your body might need today – based on you, your context, and your day. Not a rigid rule, but a starting point to notice how water shifts your energy, focus, and mood.
This is how water.day feels
A few words from people who have read the articles, shared the facts and practised the daily rituals.
How does water.day fit into my day?
Just 2 minutes a day can literally change your life. Here's how to start:
Open it like a magazine
Drop in whenever you have a moment: on the train, before sleep, during a coffee. Pick an article, a fact card, or a ritual that matches your energy.
Choose one thing, notice the shift
Try a tiny water ritual or check your water intake with our calculator. These moments are designed to feel grounding, not overwhelming.
Let it build slowly
Come back when you’re ready. Over time, the insights and habits become a softer way to stay connected to water, yourself and climate—without constant crisis scrolling.
For now, you can explore everything without an account.
 Soon you’ll be able to create a profile to save favourites, revisit your rituals, and unlock new tools as we build them.

A word from Oliver, founder of water.day, on how a personal journey  grew into a mission to help people reconnect with water.
So I took my wife and three children on a year-long trip around the world to understand what it takes to start a global water movement. We found many wonderful initiatives, but nothing that helps people connect with water on a personal level – to ground, heal, and grow.
That's why I founded water.day: a platform to reconnect with water as part of a thriving global community.
Catch you by the water,
Oliver

Yes! We're planning our first global gatherings in the second half of 2026 – bringing together water-curious people from around the world in Bali, Europe, and Hawaii.
These won't be typical conferences. Think of immersive experiences where you can connect with others who see water as more than just H₂O – through workshops, rituals, conversations, and direct encounters with local waters and communities.
We're still designing what these gatherings will look like, so if you have ideas or want to stay in the loop, drop us a line at hello@water.day or follow us on Instagram/TikTok for updates.
