We all need water to live. For a billion people around the world, easy access to clean water remains a mirage. "Coping with Water Scarcity" is the theme for World Water Day 2007, which is observed as part of the Water for Life Decade launched by the United Nations.
CWS programs and projects help provide clean water for drinking and domestic use, as well as education and training for improved community health, hygiene, and sanitation. The CWS Water for All campaign advocates to public officials on behalf of water as a human right.
