'Coping with Water Scarcity' is the theme for World Water Day 2007, which is celebrated each year on 22 March. This year's theme highlights the increasing significance of water scarcity worldwide and the need for increased integration and cooperation to ensure sustainable, efficient and equitable management of scarce water resources, both at international and local levels.
Please visit the UN Water web site, and the UN Water for Life Decade web site for the latest information on UN freshwater programmes. How can you help?
Happy World Water Day!
The Water Woes of today affect everyone, not just the poor in the Third World.
Everyone, even where water is not scarce, can help. Once clean water goes down the drain, it mixes with waste water and has to be treated before it can be used again. Every clean drop we lose is one more drop we will not have later.
Do your part! Turn off the tap!
