We cannot live without water!

It's World Water Day, designated by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1993, and it's been established to bring awareness to a global water crisis that affects millions of people.

The theme for 2012 is Food Security.

We'll talk about how water is key to food security and how, if we have better access to water around the globe, we have better nourished children and less deaths as a result.

Secretary Clinton launches the U.S. Water Partnership.

We'll talk about her speech today at the U.S. State Department and how our government is taking a role in solving the world's water crisis and creating a more water secure world.

More food through the Green Revolution.

High yielding crops to feed a growing population is necessary, however, with the increase in chemicals needed to produce such increased production is causing harm to the environment, namely our water.

Join us as we discuss World Water Day and how all this affects you...or, does it?
