With 2/3 of the global population, totaling 4 billion people, facing severe water scarcity each year, the need to reimagine our approach to water is more urgent than ever.

As we embrace the theme of ‘Leveraging Water for Peace’ this year, let’s pause to acknowledge the pivotal role water plays in nurturing ecosystems, sustaining livelihoods, and uniting communities, whether they’re urban or rural, across the globe.

At WOTR- Watershed Organisation Trust, we’re dedicated to spreading awareness and enacting sustainable solutions to safeguard our invaluable groundwater reservoirs. Through innovative approaches and community-driven endeavours, we’re paving the way towards a future where water security is a reality for everyone.
