Revalue water, it connects us all.
#WaterIsUs
We’re launching the #WaterIsUs campaign to challenge, reimagine and revalue our relationship with water. Water is both abundant and scarce. A link to our history, an anchor to the here and now, and essential to navigate our way to a secure, sustainable future. It has a visible impact, but its necessity is often undervalued.
Together, we need water. We are water. Water is us.
