Dear Watershare Community,
Welcome to the Watershare newsletter.
Covid-19 has brought many obstacles as well as new opportunities.

We would like to thank you for your contributions and engagement in 2021. As 2021 ends, it is time to look back and celebrate some of our achievements as a Community and what to look forward to in 2022. |
