2013 International letter-writing competition for young people
"Write someone a letter explaining why water is a precious resource"
The 2013 theme ties in with the International Decade for Action "Water for Life" 2005–2015.
Water serves a multitude of different purposes, and it is vital that we preserve this precious natural resource. Access to water is essential to ensuring the health and well-being of humans and the protection of nature.
The United Nations recently announced that the world had achieved the Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water. Eighty-nine percent of the world population, or 6.1 billion people, now has access to an improved drinking water source. But 11% still does not.
