Geography Awareness Week: Freshwater


The Geography Awareness Week (November 14-20), launched in 1987 in the United States by presidential proclamation as, "an annual opportunity for families and schools to engage in fun, educational experiences that draw attention to Geo-Literacy and the importance of geographic understanding," focuses on freshwater and how to conserve water for feature generations. This topic is VERY important; after all, most (if not all) forms of life need water. Visit the Geography Awareness Week website (↗) brought to you by the National Geographic Society.

March 16th, 2017 Update: GAW's website was formerly located at www.mywonderfulworld.org/gaw. This post has been edit with the correct webpage linked above.
