World Water Day, 2018

Water is an essential building block of life. It is more than just essential to quench thirst or protect

health; water is vital for creating jobs and supporting economic, social, and human development.

around the world. When we neglect our ecosystems, we make it harder to provide everyone with

the water we need to survive and thrive
