The 5th World Water Forum in Istanbul, Turkey, from March 16 to 22, 2009.

The Forum is an open, all-inclusive, multi-stakeholder process which is the culmination of over two years of preparatory activities. In this way, the World Water Forum is not just a week-long event; it is a process which aims to raise the importance, awareness and understanding of water issues and propose concrete solutions to address global challenges.

The World Water Forum ends on World Water Day.

Green Cross International offered us the opportunity to produce 500 SIGG bottles for this year’s World Water Forum held under UN patronage from March 16 to 22. We distributed the bottles selectively among the 15,000 participants at the forum.
