New Delhi, March 23, 2018: On the occasion of 26th World Water Day, ‘We Are Water Foundation’, a non-profit organization supported by Roca, launched a campaign promoting awareness on the most precious resource of the planet- water. The foundation aims at promoting a new water culture that allows the sustainable management of water resources around the world and guarantees water access to every individual for a dignified and healthy life.

The digital campaign is aimed at creating awareness on the increasing water scarcity around the globe by educating users on the importance of water conservation and it’s availability for generations to come. The campaign started with initiating conversations around the adverse effect of depleting water availability and presented some alarming facts around the same.
