The day I am writing this, March 22, is World Water Day. Two factors are inescapably true about world water: we don't have enough freshwater, and struggling for it will probably be a main source of international conflicts in the 21st century. According to the UN, 1.1 billion lack adequate access to freshwater, 2.4 billion lack access to adequate sanitation, leading to 3 million preventable deaths every year. In a few decades the wars in the Middle East may not be fought over oil or religion but rather for water. It's a very important topic.
No RSVP required. Non-students who haven’t attended previous sessions of the ICWA’s Great Decisions should pay $2.
