World Water Day 2009
WWD 2009: Campaigns and Events
World Water Day 2009 campaigns are led by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), with the support of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
A week long World Water Forum in Istanbul with representations from all over the world concludes on March 22nd. The agenda of the forum consisted of a variety of programs including: –
• International Water Technology Conference
• brainstorming sessions on sustaining water resources worldwide
• presentation and distribution of an Atlas of Transboundary Aquifers
• International water and film events
• discussions on topics such as, “Managing and Protecting Surface, Ground, Soil and Rainwater”
• photo exhibition highlighting “Water as Bridge for Peace”
Non-profit organizations like WaterPartners enable people in developing countries to have access to clean water. This year, women from self help groups (SHG) in India rally to highlight the importance of water, sanitation and better hygiene among rural and urban communities. To create a buzz about World Water Day 2009, enterprising groups from all over the world have come up with attractive campaign materials such as documents and publications, posters and banners, videos, T shirts, e-cards, desktop wallpapers and display on mobile devices in many languages of the world.
Ultimately the success of the World Water Day campaign depends on each one of us in as much as we realize that water is a dwindling resource and that we need to refrain from wasting Nature’s most precious gift—Water.
