World Water Day 2010--Theme, "Communicating Water Quality, Challenges and opportunities

The theme for World Water Day has been announced. It is, "Communicating Water Quality Changes and Opportnities." We need to spread the msg to our friends to organize the World Water Day, which is March 22, 2010. Any day during the week, it can be celebrated, as the entire week during which March 22, 2010 falls. As some of you may know, I have been celebrating this day for the last three years in Vizianagaram-Viskahpatnam area of Andhra Pradesh. If you can encourage school children in the areas that you originally hail from, it would be a start. It does not cost a lot of money. Organizing rallies, marches, poster competitions, seminars and forums in colleges and universities, hanging banners at main junctions in towns about the importance of water for sustaining life and economic growth and any other idea that you can think of can be undertaken. Usualy schools and colleges respond to do their part because it is educational. The links that you see in the attachment are all informative as to what is going on with the UN in that Water-Sanitation sector. View them, if ou have the time.Best wishes,
Prakash
