In 1993 the United Nations declared March 22nd as World Water Day to highlight the importance of water and to advocate for the sustainable management of water resources.
Did you
know:
1 in 10 people lack sufficient access to water
1 in 3 people lack sufficient access to sanitation
1.5 million children die from a lack of clean water and
safe sanitation every year
It’s hard to
imagine that in 2014 that there is still a struggle to provide clean, safe
water supplies to people around the world.
World Water Day is behind us, but you can act every day in your
household and community to protect and conserve all sources of water, including
groundwater. The Groundwater
Foundation’s mission is to educate people and inspire action to ensure
sustainable clean groundwater for future generations. Check out The Groundwater Foundation’s
website to learn how you can help protect the world’s water! www.groundwater.org/action/
