September 25 World Rivers Day

Today day is September 25 World Rivers Day, World Rivers Day is a global celebration of the world's waterways, observed every last Sunday in September.

It’s goal is to highlight how valuable rivers are to our world, and to increase the public’s awareness about how they can help. The United Nations launched the “Water for Life Decade” in 2005 to increase awareness of the need for better care of our limited water sources. The first World Rivers Day was established after this, in response to an environmental proposal by internationally respected river advocate, Mark Angelo.
Events include riverside cleanups, habitat restoration, nature walks, paddle trips, school projects, art displays, music festivals, and parades. Citizens are encouraged to join an event in their area, or start one of their own. World Rivers Day has been endorsed by various agencies of the United Nations and is intended to complement the broader efforts of the United Nations Water For Life Decade.
