World Water Monitoring Day

by Earth911

World Water Monitoring Day is an international education and outreach program that builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world by engaging citizens to conduct basic monitoring of their local water bodies.

October 18 was originally selected as World Water Monitoring Day in recognition of the anniversary of the U.S. Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act was enacted by Congress in 1972 and is a milestone in efforts to restore and protect U.S. water resources. However, in 2007, the date was changed to September 18 in hope of warmer weather since some parts of our world are frozen solid by October 18.
