Dear LEO Friends,
i would like to share an international project with you, which i feel
will be a project for fit for young people like you and your club
this year between Sept 18 to Oct.18 2004
America's Clean Water Foundation (ACWF) and the International Water
Association (IWA) are working together to coordinate World Water
Monitoring Day. Because the need for clean water knows no boundaries,
it makes sense that collaborative efforts to protect and preserve the
world's most precious natural resource should involve the global
community. Much can be learned from each other when a collaborative
spirit prevails. Many people are already engaged in activities that
protect the world's water resources. World Water Monitoring Day seeks
to capitalize on the vast knowledge of those who are experienced to
introduce water monitoring to people throughout the world that have
never assumed a personal stake in protecting their local watershed.
World Water Monitoring Day was created with two major purposes in
mind. First, to serve as an educational platform to introduce people
to the importance of water monitoring and connect them personally
with efforts to protect and preserve their local watersheds, and
second, as a means of expanding the base of information available
about the health of each watershed over time.
On October 18, citizens of the global community will join in World
Water Monitoring Day (WWMD), a worldwide opportunity to positively
impact the health of rivers, lakes, estuaries and other waterbodies.
Volunteer monitoring groups, water quality agencies, students, and
the general public are invited to test four key indicators of water
quality: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity.
please feel free the visit the WMD web site:
