The Biggest Water Festival on Earth

Friday marked the beginning of Expo Zaragoza which is being billed as the biggest water festival on Earth. Nine themed weeks will take place over the 93 days of Expo in which scientists and experts will reflect and discuss on water-related issues from different perspectives.

In addition to the themed weeks, the Water Tribune has organized a full program of events. Among other activities, Agora stands out as a space for reflection open to the public in which writers, artists, communicators and thinkers will take part. It will also make the Water Words collection available. This is a series of 17 books written by eminent global figures of the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev, Rigoberta Menchú, Javier Solana and Federico Mayor Zaragoza.
