UBCO WORLD WATER WEEK – MARCH 17-20, 2015

Established by the UN in 1993, March 22nd is the official World Water Day. UBC’s Okanagan campus chose March 19th for our own celebration as a member of the global community. On a planet whose population is growing faster than ever, water issues are affecting more people everyday. This day recognizes increasing water requirements for sustainable development. This year’s theme is Water and Sustainable Development.
