World Water Day 2021 - Virtual Exhibitions
Virtual Exhibitions
Scotland's World Water Day 2021 event, held on the 22nd March, included a series of innovative virtual exhibition spaces hosting a huge number of submissions kindly provided by contributors across Scotland's Water Sector and beyond. These will remain live and continuously updated until World Water Day 2022!
After the roaring success of the virtual exhibitions at World Water Day 2021, we intend to include a virtual component at future World Water Day events, and we are in the process of establishing a dedicated site to host all of this fascinating material, so watch this space!
Until then, you can access all of these fascinating virtual exhibitions here, by clicking the links above the descriptions. You can also find more details of the event in the programme here.
