World Water Day

The theme this year is Nature for Water

We to look at nature and what we are doing to it before we destroy the ecosystem that ensures there is water for all

Environmental damage, together with climate change, is driving the water-related crises we see around the world. Floods, drought and water pollution are all made worse by degraded vegetation, soil, rivers and lakes.
