In 2013, World Water Day will be celebrated with the theme International Year of Water Cooperation, coordinated by UNESCO for UN-Water.
So, on March 22, we have many reasons to celebrate:
- To recall that water is a valuable asset, essential for all life on earth.
- That it is inseparable from the right to life and that there is no substitute for it.
- That in Canada, the Great Lakes contain approximately 18 % of the world’s freshwater supply, making it by far the largest fresh surface water reserve in the world.
