UN World Water Day is on the 22nd March 2012. Check out the website for activities and ways to highlight the importance of water. This year the theme is Water and Food Security "There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we ‘drink’ is embedded in the food we eat: producing 1 kilo of beef for example consumes 15,000 litres of water while 1 kilo of wheat ’drinks up’ 1,500 litres."

CEF would also like to organise a visit to a good demonstrable water harvesting project - if you know of any could you please let me know. I have found a few but unfortunately a lot of the system is hidden underground.


Best regards,

Bernie Connolly
