2005 - 2015 is
the international decade for action.
"WATER IS ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE. Water is crucial for sustainable
development, including the preservation of our natural environment
and the alleviation of poverty and hunger. Water is indispensable
for human health and well-being.
The United Nations General Assembly, in December 2003, proclaimed
the years 2005 to 2015 as the International Decade for Action 'Water
for Life'.
A decade of action! The primary goal of the 'Water for Life' Decade
is to promote efforts to fulfill international commitments made
on water and water-related issues by 2015."
