Welcome to the official site of the International Year of Freshwater 2003!
All throughout 2003, this site was the place for thousands of individuals, groups and organizations from across the globe to meet and share information on freshwater. Your ideas, thoughts, projects and experiences have contributed to making the Year a phenomenal success!

The Year is over... But protecting this vital resource necessary for our daily lives is a never-ending task. As individuals, communities, countries, and as a global community of concerned citizens, let's remain alert and active in order to better manage our common resource - water!
