THIS WEEK’S POLL looked at favorite water memories around holidays, such as the 4th of July, happening this week. It will likely come as no surprise that “fireworks displays” over a body of water were among the top memories, garnering two thirds of the vote, with family reunions and picnics alongside lakes securing the other third. Access to water is key to our enjoying freedom, the focus of this U.S. Holiday. Global Water Works staff will be off on the July 4th U.S. Holiday, returning July 5. We wish all around the world the same independence, which is enhanced by access to precious water resources.
