Most freshwater lies underground in aquifers. We must stop overexploiting this #groundwater and polluting it. unesco.org/reports/wwdr/2… #EarthDay #MakeGroundwaterVisible

It’s getting hotter, it’s getting serious. Climate change is really happening today and it will get worse. Floods, droughts, heat waves, storms, melting glaciers and poles, changing ecosystems. Don’t underestimate what’s happening; don’t think that it will easily be solved. Act !

Water should be a source of peace, not inequality. Yet, the water crisis hits the most vulnerable the hardest while the world continues to look away. 46% of the world’s population lacks access to safe sanitation. By working together we can change this. on.unesco.org/WorldWaterRepo…

Welcome Feifei ! Groundwater has been unknown and invisible too long in global water management. Let’s further highlight the the crucial role of groundwater in the global water cycle and its importance for drinking water, agriculture and nature.
