31 MARCH 2015
The Marshall Islands celebrated World Water Day with a wide range of activities on 21 March this year, opened by President H.E Christopher J. Loeak who recognised the challenges small island states face in ensuring there is sufficient safe water.
"Although water security is a global challenge, some parts of the world are more vulnerable than others. As with most small island states, the natural freshwater resources of the Marshall Islands are severely limited. While this is not a new concept, climate change exacerbates the problem," stated President Loeak.
