The newest issue of National Geographic is dedicated entirely to water and how the world can work to protect this resource. There are some amazingly stunning photos of water around the word, as well as some great articles on everything that is important to this crisis – from state water issues in California, to water technology around the world.

The National Geographic Society is proud to support the United Nations’ World Water Day, with this special issue, and is providing educators with resources to share the event’s important “clean water for a healthy world” message with students.
