Today is UN-Water World Water Day and across the city, our youth are taking steps to reduce their water usage and educate others about the importance of water conservation thanks to partners such as the CAWST - the Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST). CAWST’s Youth Wavemakers program, is a unique water education program that informs, engages and encourages action and celebrates the impact that youth are having on local and global water and sanitation issues.

This year, in honour of World Water Day, the actions of students and others were celebrated at an event on Tuesday, March 19 at Devonian Gardens. Read more here: http://bit.ly/10627QQ

World Water Day 2012 - March 22

There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. 

Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we ‘drink’ is embedded in the food we eat: producing 1 kilo of beef for example consumes 15,000 litres of water while 1 kilo of wheat ’drinks up’ 1,500 litres.

When a billion people in the world already live in chronic hunger and water resources are under pressure we cannot pretend the problem is ‘elsewhere’.
