The EarthEcho Water Challenge (formerly World Water Monitoring Challenge) is an international program that runs annually from March 22 (the United Nations World Water Day) through December and equips anyone to protect the water resources we depend on every day. The EarthEcho Water Challenge builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world by engaging citizens to conduct basic monitoring of their local waterbodies. Results are then shared with participating communities around the globe through the EarthEcho Water Challenge website.

Middle school and high school students around O‘ahu can participate in the EarthEcho Water Challenge, sponsored by the City and County of Honolulu. If you are interested in participating in the program, call 768-3300 ext. 3 or complete our online contact form.
