World Water Day 2012: Bolivia’s melting glaciers

This World Water Day, 22 March 2012, we look at Bolivia’s glaciers, which are melting at an alarming rate. Farming communities on the slopes beneath the Illimani glacier in La Paz have land to farm, but not enough water to grow the crops they need to feed and sustain their families. Organisations like Christian Aid partner Agua Sustentable are measuring impacts and piloting schemes like reservoirs, to maximise water usage in these communities. Climate change is a global issue. We all need to take action. Read more: www.christianaid.org.uk Climate campaign: www.christianaid.org.uk Christian Aid in Bolivia: www.christianaid.org.uk
