Thursday is World Water Day and the Food & Agriculture Organization is having an event. The theme is: Coping with Water Scarcity.

This year’s theme highlights the increasing significance of water scarcity worldwide and the need for increased integration and cooperation to ensure sustainable, efficient and equitable management of scarce water resources, both at international and local levels.

Jean-Marc Faurès, an FAO expert in Water Resources, Development and Management Service and one of the Day coordinators says: “Need to adapt to local problems and situations.” You can listen to Jean-Marc here: fao-faures-water-day.mp3
