World Rivers Day is set for September 28th this year (as always, falling on the last Sunday in September) and, while the event is still a few months away, it will be here before we know it. Consequently, we're hoping that river advocates from around the globe will start planning events as part of this year's World Rivers Day celebration.
As examples of what is being planned already, there will be events across Canada, from British Columbia to Saskatchewan to Newfoundland -- to an array of activities across the United States, with many events being planned by local Riverkeepers associated with the Waterkeepers Alliance.
Elsewhere, there will be some incredible events, ranging from the Rivers and Wetlands Community Day celebration in south east England -- to events across the great waterways of Europe, with the help of Uniworld, -- to the ISOCARP Congress on waterfront planning in Gdynia, Poland.
And across Australia, events will range from a country-wide photo contest organized by the International River Foundation, to the RiverSymposium in Canberra, which will include the first preview showing of the upcoming film, RiverBlue.
And in Africa, events will take place from South Africa to Nigeria
