World Water Day 2018

The Humanitarian Engineering Programme is proudly celebrating World Water Day.

The theme for World Water Day 2018 is ‘Nature for Water’ – exploring nature-based solutions to the water challenges we face.

The United Nations have noted that 2 billion people drink unsafe water every day.
