New York Opens A Museum Of Water

Following the rich tradition of New York Transit Museum, the largest museum in the United States devoted to urban public transportationn , now a water museum is opening up in New York. Yes, it's the New York Museum Of Water.

An initiative like this is much needed to demonstrate the uses of water and its different sources like rivers and canals. Water supports life and we can't live without it.

The museum would be the first in the world dedicated solely to water and, as planned, would include a permanent evolving exhibit designed by U.N. member states demonstrating each country's people's relationship to water.

Water falls from the sky as rain, seeps into the groundwater or drains into lakes and streams, then goes back out to sea. These are our storage reservoirs . Now it's time to take real action and stop polluting the atmosphere and the oceans.

The New York Water Museum is on a mission to create entertainment centers that act as an ambassador for water, its protection, and our childrens future access to clean and ample water.

We should hope that more water ambassadors will spring up in other parts of the world to enlighten and educate the public about this precious commodity.
