And Water for All: A World Water Day
"Can we afford clean water? Can we afford rivers and lakes and streams and oceans which continue to make possible life on this plant? Can we afford life itself?" -Senator Edmund Muskie, 1972
Ohio State’s Environmental Professionals Network (EPN), partnering with the Water Management Association of Ohio (WMAO), School of Earth Sciences (SES), and TerrAqua (an Ohio State student organization), is co-hosting this event to focus attention on water access and water affordability in Ohio.
On #WorldWaterDay 2021 the United Nations put out the global call for community leaders to ask and record what water access means to their residents and neighbors, to assess water’s true value and how we can better protect and improve this vital resource in our communities. A team of Ohio State researchers from the School of Environment and Natural Resources answered this call, traveling the past year across Ohio asking water utility managers, users, and advocates in communities big and small, urban, and rural, about the challenge of water affordability. The result is And Water for All, an educational documentary examining the opportunities and challenges that governmental and non-governmental entities are facing today to secure clean and affordable water and what to expect in the coming decades. Join this conversation on #WorldWaterDay, March 22, 2022 to see how we can ensure all residents of our communities have this basic right.
The full agenda and speaker bios are available on the EPN website.
