In 2009, the focus of World Water Day on March 22 will be on transboundary waters, with UNECE and UNESCO as the lead agencies.
The World Water Day 2009 theme Transboundary water management is not an IRC theme. However we do occasionally publish a news article on it in our electronic Source newsletter.
