water literacy(AquaVerse)

Objectives of the project;
Climate change also has major impacts on the water cycle. In order to cope with the negative effects such as more frequent and severe droughts, floods, and the reduction of water resources, it is necessary to effectively manage and protect water resources.
Water is a basic requirement for many industrial activities, agriculture, energy production and human life. The sustainable management of water resources supports social and economic development. At the same time, ensuring equality and fairness in access to water also increases social well-being.
Water literacy includes the processes of accessing the information needed for the conservation and sustainable use of water resources, understanding and applying this information. In this context, it is important to understand and become aware of issues such as the water cycle, the use of water resources, pollution, the impact of water, the protection of water resources and water management. This knowledge and awareness enables individuals and societies to use water more efficiently and sustainably and protect water resources.
Water literacy is an important issue today, when the recent pressures on water resources have increased and the need for sustainable water management has become even more obvious. Given the economic, environmental and social importance of water, the development and social adoption of water literacy skills are of vital importance for the conservation and sustainable use of water resources.
The world's freshwater resources are being subjected to more pressure every day due to increasing water use and water pollution. Until recently, the use and management of freshwater resources were considered at the local, national and river basin scale. The realization that freshwater resources are subject to global changes and globalization-related effects has led many researchers to start discussing problems related to water resources in a global context.

Students are involved in the project through the e-twinning platform. events are planned in schools with the participation of all schools. students also participate in activities by using technological materials. they complete the activities and upload them to the platform. In this way, students in all schools that are partners interact about this issue.

Expected result;
Water is a vital resource and one of the basic requirements for many industries, agriculture and human life. However, the sustainable use of water resources is critical to ensure that this resource is protected for future generations. Conscious use of water and management of water resources will ensure the long-term supply and use of water.
Water use and pollution greatly affect environmental impacts. Conscious use of water and conservation of water helps to reduce the effects that damage natural ecosystems and protect the biodiversity of water resources.
Thanks to the project, all students' knowledge of water literacy will be improved. water literacy will be spread to a general audience and dissemination will be provided. The calculation of the water footprint will be learned by the students of the partner schools. work will be done on this issue. dissemination activities will be carried out. Most importantly, common communities will be informed about climate change and drought. thanks to the studies carried out, awareness on these issues will increase and awareness will be provided.
