‘Water, our most precious resource?’

With fast growing human populations and increasing pressures on our water supplies, access to clean water is a life threatening issue for some and simply taken for granted by others.

 Take part in our poster competition to mark World Water Day (22^nd March).

 The poster content

 For your country, region or locality, design a poster to illustrate at least one of the following:

• Main sources of water
• Main uses of water (domestic, agricultural and industrial) and how these may have changed over time
• Access to clean water, and the quality of drinking water
• Dealing with waste water
• Water as important part of ecosystems
• Possible effects of deforestation and global warming
