Beginnings of a Water Resource Library
Water isn't just for drinking and washing.
Water has its own Spirit.
Water is alive. Water has memory.
Water knows how you treat it. Water knows you.
You should get to know Water too.

A WATER RESOURCE KIT
This Water Resource Kit offers a free and accessible portal into the unfathomable world of Water for all levels of interest and knowledge. The kit provides links of videos , articles, websites, organizations, courses, etc. to some of the most inspiring, educational, engaging and practical information about Water and Water Stewardship.
The information shared in this Resource Kit offers a distilled “tip of the iceberg” of Water knowledge and wisdom. You will soon be able to explore the World Water Community Resource Library for many more resources that are shared, discussed and curated by the community.
If you wish to propose and/or help curate other resources – or if you wish to propose resources in your own language – please join the Water Resource Kit group on the World Water Community.
As with most global challenges, the solutions to solve the Water crises already exist. With healthy Water being the unequivocal foundation for human and environmental health, what is needed now are coordinated global learning initiatives and awareness campaigns to help people of all cultures work together to implement the best solutions according to local needs, conditions and resources.
