Imagine a Day Without Water 2019
Imagine:
No water to drink, or even to make coffee with. No water to shower, flush the toilet, or do laundry. Hospitals would close without water. Firefighters couldn’t put out fires and farmers couldn’t water their crops.
Some communities in America already know how impossible it is to try to go a day without our most precious resource: Water. But many Americans take water for granted every day. Imagine a Day Without Water 2018 is the fourth annual day to raise awareness and educate America about the value of water.
Last year, over 750 organizations came together, including the City of Atlanta. Will you join us this year? Sign up!

How To Participate
For Imagine a Day Without Water we invite everyone with a water story to tell to join in the effort. Participating organizations can host events, promote social media campaigns, pass a resolution with your mayor or city council, or do whatever you think best educates and engages the public and stakeholders about how water is essential, invaluable, and worthy of investment.
Consider partnering with another local organization who cares about water. Breweries, schools, aquariums, car washes, Chambers of Commerce, city councils, and more have all raised their hand and said they care about their local water supply and service and want to raise awareness about the often invisible challenges plaguing our water infrastructure.
