Regional Centre for Groundwater Resources Education, Training and Research in East Africa (RCGW) in partnership with UNESCO-IHP, IGRAC, BGR and KEWI organised a regional training programme on Integrating Groundwater Management within River Basins. The training was held from 15-17 January in Nairobi, Kenya.

Every year, the World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. The theme also sets the focus for the annual World Water Development Report. An annual theme is proposed by UN-Water Members and Partners two to three years in advance. At its meeting in Rome last week, UN-Water decided that “Groundwater: making the invisible visible” – proposed by IGRAC – will be the theme for the World Water Day 2022.
