SAVE WATER- WATER IS LIFE                                                                                                                                I I continue to spread awareness about the importance of protecting our water resources and marine resources conservation- By Simran Vedvyas, Dubai- United Arab Emirates

I attended a very interesting community lecture recently with aim to learn from the experience and presentations by Environment Experts for a greener, sustainable tomorrow.

This community lecture helped to educate and highlight the importance of oceans and the concept of  blue carbon, water management and security, disaster management, community sustainability and resiliency given the large scale urban migration phenomena and the global importance of environmental education at all levels.

Ocean Deep shows the pristine beauty of our seas. It poses a big challenge on everyone: Do we act to preserve or destroy our environment.  We need to stress on the importance of protecting our water resources and marine resources conservation.

Everything around us is interconnected. We source our clean potable water from desalinating sea water and we want our seas and oceans to remain pristine and beautiful.  Everyone should mitigate human-caused damage to marine ecosystems and work on preserving marine species.

If we protect all life in the oceans – which unfortunately, are under grave threats – we also preserve our own existence. We must all act now or we will only see the beauty of our planet in the movies.

I got intrigued and interested to learn more about Water Footprint because one of the key issues I am addressing amongst various others is WATER CONSERVATION. 

I am following the subject very closely and will continue my endeavors to promote the same

The event was well-attended by more than 100 students members from the public sector and corporate world.
