                           World Water Day at IMAS

MCALLEN - "Water is a basic requirement for all life, yet water resources are facing increasing demands from, and competition among, users. In 1992, the UN General Assembly designated 22 March of each year as the World Day for Water." ~ www.worldwaterday.org

In observance of this day IMAS would like to invite you to join us Saturday, March 21st for an all day event focusing on this most precious resource. Jaime Flores, of the Arroyo Colorado Partnership, will be present to talk about local and regional water issues and presentations utilizing NOAA's "Science On a Sphere" will highlight global issues related to water.  Additionally, hands-on and other art activities will focus on recycled and recyclable materials.  World Water Day is part of IMAS' "Smart About Water" Program and is sponsored by the McAllen PUB.  

"Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water." ~ Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
