While global #WaterAction lags, communities are working tirelessly to address their local water challenges. Community members in the #TanaWatershed are working to restore the groundwater and streams by reversing land degradation, restoring the common lands through tree-planting, and other soil and water conservation efforts. In the last two years, they planted over 100,000 trees. "The main purpose is to recover the damaged lands by holding it with the tree roots," explained Yezina Alemneh, one of the committee members coordinating the community's effort. "The water shortage is becoming unbearable. We dig today for a better tomorrow." Read more in our latest article, written by Eliza L.

WRI Water helps companies, cities and countries understand water risks and invest in solutions for a water-secure future
关于我们
Part of World Resources Institute, WRI's Water Program helps companies, cities and countries understand water risks and invest in solutions for a water-secure future. We produce innovative data and analysis tools to help decision-makers understand current and future water risks. We identify ways for policymakers to build water resilience, prevent water-related conflicts and invest in nature-based solutions. We guide companies on water stewardship initiatives that can reduce financial risk and improve collective water security. And we work with cities to expand water access and address the root problems of water insecurity to create more resilient communities. WRI's Aqueduct tools identify and map water risks like floods, droughts and stress. Our Aqueduct tools [https://www.wri.org/initiatives/aqueduct] include: ? Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, which maps and analyzes current and future water risks across locations; ? Aqueduct Country Rankings, which allows decision-makers to understand and compare national and subnational water risks; ? Aqueduct Food, which identifies current and future water risks to agriculture and food security; and ? Aqueduct Floods, which identifies coastal and riverine flood risks, and analyzes the costs and benefits of investing in flood protection. Follow our other LinkedIn pages here: ?
