The objective of World Water Day 2011 is to focus international attention on the impact of rapid urban population growth, industrialization and uncertainties caused by climate change, conflicts and natural disasters on urban water systems.
This year theme, Water for cities: responding to the urban challenge, aims to spotlight and encourage governments, organizations, communities, and individuals to actively engage in addressing the challenges of urban water management.

* Event in San Antonio, TX: "Walk on Water," sponsored by the Headwaters Coalition
* Check out your water footprint. It's more than just the water you consume or use to wash dishes and clothes. It's also the water embedded in the products and services you use.
