Increasing water resource education
- Teaching water science
Description
Increasing water resource education involves implementing targeted programs to raise awareness and understanding of water conservation, management, and sustainable use. This strategy equips individuals and communities with practical knowledge to address water scarcity, pollution, and misuse. By integrating water education into schools, public campaigns, and professional training, it fosters responsible behaviors, supports informed decision-making, and encourages the adoption of effective water-saving technologies and practices, directly remedying issues of overconsumption and resource degradation.
Implementation
This strategy featured in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
