It is important for the youth of today to know The Value of Water and how important it is to act in preserving our most precious resource. 

“No water to drink or wash your hands with. No water to shower, flush the toilet, or do laundry. Hospitals would close without water. Firefighters couldn't put out fires and farmers couldn't water their crops. Disease and viruses would spread.” 

This year’s campaign is an effort to encourage students to acknowledge their environmental footprint, and to ultimately promote change in the future of water and wastewater infrastructure. There is no new water in our world. If we fall short of our most valuable natural resource, what would we do? Could you imagine a day without water?
