On 14th of September the current year edition of the World Expo will end in Zaragoza, Spain after three months of exhibitions, shows and entertainment.

It was a success, without any doubt, attracting even more visitors than initially evaluated. And succeed to do an even more important thing: growing the awareness on the global problem of water.

The name of the theme was officially : “Water and sustainable development“. Very generous theme, which has been treated very deep by the 200 participating countries. The King of Spain himself, Juan Carlos, expressed in the opening speech the deep concern on environmental problems and the necessity to think to the next generations. The biological clock of our planet is ticking, there is no way back.

Think only to this little thing: 1,2 billion people worldwide have no access to clean drinking water!

Zaragoza build specially for the exhibition huge pavilions on a length of 6 km, along the Ebro River (too much concrete for an environmental issue, say the critics).

One of the main attractions in this World Expo 2008 is the Water Tower ( the picture above ) , which has the form of a drop of water!

If you hurry up and get a safe plane ( avoid Spanair, please ) you can still admire this wonderful and amazing exhibition in Zaragoza. You will remember that we are build 70% from water, and you will admire many issues and artifacts tighten to water. You are going to love Zaragoza and Pluvi, the lovely mascot.
