WATER FOR LIFE

Water is of vital importance for surviving aquatic creatures, which keep alive all biological life and human activities, from the smallest living organism to the biggest living creature.
The need for water is increasing day by day because of the fact that water resources are stable and most of the potable waters are consumed by wasting and are failed to be managed in terms of their pollution and renewal while the world population is increasing rapidly.
In order to perform activities for protecting water, the United Nations declared the years between 2005-2015 as “Water for Life” international decade and also UNESCO decided to support the action of “Water for Life” international decade for the years between 2005 -2015.
