This September 18, we invite you to join us to take part
in World Water Monitoring Day – a global initiative desired inspire people
around the world to test their local water quality and encourage action to protect
water.
Through the EarthEcho Water Challenge, we’re equipping
global citizens with the tools needed to understand their water resources and
use data collected through water quality testing to make informed decisions
about water conservation.
Want to get involved? World Water Monitoring Day is a
great place to start! Consider the following ways to take action on September
18 and beyond:
Join the
EarthEcho Water Challenge: Visit monitorwater.org to learn how you can get
started monitoring your local water ways, collecting data about the state of
your water resources, and sharing this data through our EarthEcho Water
Challenge Database. Consider ordering a water test kit to use in your local
community and be sure to upload your data on the EarthEcho Water Challenge site.
Protect
Your Waterways: After exploring the Water Challenge site, and testing
your local water quality, it’s time to take action! Recruit your friends and
family to help you create a plan to protect your water resources. Cleanup a
local river or waterway, plant native plants at a local park, or give a
presentation on water quality in your school or work place – the opportunities
are endless!
Tell Your
Story: We want to know how you’re taking action to protect your local
waterways. Share photos of your actions on social media using hashtag
#MonitorWater and click here to share highlights from your work.
We looking forward to learning about the ways you take
action on September 18 and throughout the year!
