photo - 4.bp.blogspot.com Antigua, St John's - The Ministry of Education and the Medical Benefits Scheme (MBS) are collaborating to encourage residents, particularly students, to drink more water.

On Tuesday, in observance of Water Day, the Ministry of Education and MBS are taking a message to schools and the wider public - that drinking water is important for health, and by extension, life.

Teachers will encourage students to drink water instead of juice and sodas, while shop owners have been asked to sell water as the preferred beverage.

Organisers envisage that the love of drinking water will be encouraged and be considered an important factor in preserving health.

World Water Day has been observed on March 22 since 1993.

Water is an essential given to us by God. To me water is closest to God, It is pure, clear, no taste of anything because what it does is so great it does not need any extra stuff.
