World Water Day 2022
Water is under extreme threat from a growing population, increasing agriculture and industry demands, and worsening climate change impacts. Waterkeepers Carolina and its members highlight World Water Day – March 22, 2022 – to honor, celebrate and protect water. We are working to share our stories, thoughts and feelings about water. Join the international movement - worldwaterday.org.
Did you know that according to the EPA, climate change is expected to raise North Carolina's temperature and rainfall levels? Increased rainfall sounds like a good idea for farmers and kayakers alike, but changes in weather patterns might not be good for our state. Our storms may become more severe and fierce, which could mean it all goes downstream to the ocean before our watersheds can capture it for our use. Preserving clean water now and making plans to conserve more is critical to our state's green future.
