[Poll] Year of Freshwater
March 5, 2003 - 11:27 AM

|
2003 marks the Year of Freshwater. Water is one of the most precious goods of humankind. In this forum important topics like water policies, groundwater issues, water in agriculture (irrigation), water and health/sanitation, water as a public good should be discussed. It should lead up to the World Water Forum which is taking place between the 16th and 23rd of March and the World Water Day on the 22nd.
The involvment of the Youth in this discussion is very important since the Youth will be the future generation that will need to live with the consequences of today's actions.
This discussion should start a process of thinking of possible solutions for today's water problems/issues and the exchange of ideas/information among young people.

A big part of what I am doing with www.insiderspirit.com is based upon the water issues that are affecting us. My dad's company www.aqua-pure.com is in the middle of the industry and looks like things are opening up for his company.
Water is going to become more of a valuable resource as global issues affect us. We even feel the effects here in Canada.
Hormones, pesticides, organics, btex, leachates, bioterrorism and so forth.
Environmental companies are doing some great things, but more can and has to be done!!
So what can we do??
