In this section we have gathered factsheets, information sheets and executive summaries of major reports that UN-Water members and partners have published to provide the press and the public with accurate and succinct information on various issues related to freshwater. We have also included a page of video resources. As the site grows, we will continue to add more multimedia resources, as well as advocacy and outreach materials, that UN-Water members and partners have prepared for the press, students and educators and the public.

Words alone can't tell the whole story about how important water is in our lives. Photos are crucial to deepening our understanding of water-related issues and for building effective advocacy campaigns to promote wise water use. Many UN-Water members and partners have set up on line photo galleries and image banks to illustrate the work the they are doing. We have collected links to many of these photo galleries on a single page. Check them out.
