With the 22nd of March approaching, IGRAC and the other World Water Day taskforce members start a new video challenge. We are asking people from around the world to make a 60 second film on the theme of ‘Groundwater – making the invisible visible’. The campaign description below and the instruction video with IGRAC's Communication Specialist Stefan Siepman explain how to participate. 

#MyGroundwaterStory
