Montreal - March 4, 1997 - To celebrate the arrival of spring, the Biosphère is pleased to present the WaterCan Festival from March 8 to 23. The Biosphère invites the public to explore the world of water. The Festival program includes close to 50 activities, demonstrations, speakers, video presentations, and exhibits of modules, pumps and instruments. Visitors will learn about fog catchers and how water carriers transport water on their heads. They will meet astronauts and see an automatic weather station in operation. The event will illustrate the vast differences between industrialized and developing countries as to the amount of wealth and expertise each can devote to ensuring access to water, effective water treatment, efficient water use, and protection and conservation of water, one of the most critical issues facing the next millennium. 1, record 7, English, - WaterCan%20Festival
