World Water Day, 2018 - Nature for Water
Go Back
World Water Day is celebrated with a specific aspect of water throughout the World each year on 20th March 2018. Under the theme ‘Nature for Water’, the year 2018 provides an important opportunity of exploring nature based solutions for various water challenges. This theme is closely linked with Sustainable Development Goal 6 “ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030” which explicitly talks to halve the proportion of untreated wastewater and increase water recycling and safe reuse. The concept note is placed opposite in the file.
ECO Science Foundation (ECOSF) and Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) with its other supporting partners i.e., ICIMOD, ECOSF, CCRD, UNESCO and Riphah International University) have planned to organize a conference on the subject on March 20, 2018 along with poster competition related to the theme. The event will provide a platform for exchange of experiences and dialogue to address water issues. Following are the objectives:
