About This Collection

One Water

The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de JaWorld Water Dayneiro. It inspired the creation of our EarthSayers special collection around the idea of "One Water." It addresses a wide range of issues including, but not limited to water supply, security, rights, and pollution.

The organization, One Water, puts the challenge succinctly: "Providing clean and safe water to everybody around the world is among the greatest challenges facing us today." Two other organizations asking for support are charity:water and water.org.

Water Warriors by Liz Miller

Imagine living beside the world's largest freshwater body, yet being unable to afford its use. This is the reality for Highland Park, Michigan residents, who face soaring water costs and demand accountability for these rising expenses.

This critical situation highlights issues of water access, community rights, sustainability, and civil rights, with particular relevance to women's rights, government responsibility, and local activism in Michigan. The topic is explored in a film by Liz Miller.
