ISHA - LIVE EARTH

Walk/Run For Water

…to create awareness and raise funds for water conservation projects

‘Walk/Run for water’ an initiative to resolve the global

water crisis, is happening in more than 150 cities all over
the world on 18th April 2010. Isha Foundation and Live
Earth have joined hands to organize this event in Chennai.

One in eight people in the World already don’t have access to

safe, clean drinking water. The UN projects that 35% of the
global population in 2025 will be affected by water stress or
scarcity. India as a whole is expected to be seriously affected
impacting agriculture, food security and the whole economy,
negating most efforts at poverty eradication. Experts predict that
if another World War occurs, it would be on account of water.

Chennai, is already facing chronic water problems with fast

depleting surface and ground water sources. This event is
organized to ignite awareness among all citizens to make
everyone save, recycle and reuse water. A 6km Walk/Run from
Besant Nagar beach (Elliot’s Beach) through adjoining roads, highlights the fact that 6km
is the average distance many women and children in the World walk every day to
secure the minimum requirement of water for their families. After the walk, live beats
from ‘Sounds of Isha’ and other renowned artists will entertain participants on the Beach.
