I visit Jabatan Air Sabah website from time to time and as I saw this, I thought the netizens, especially those with cameras might be interested to take part. I may just send in a couple of pictures this time around. Note: the following information is copied from the department's web site and I have made available the link to that site at the end of this article.
Photography Competition
OBJECTIVES
International World Water Day is held annually on 22nd March as a means of focusing the world’s attention towards the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
The world is already burdened with chronic hunger and water resources are under pressure with population surge. At all steps of the supply chain, from producers to consumers, actions can be taken to save water and ensure nutritious food for all.
As the saying ‘picture speaks a thousand words’, the Organising Committee hopes this photography competition shall create awareness on the importance of efficient consumption and sustainability of water and freshwater in ensuring sufficient supply of nutritious food to meet dietary needs.

Wah! sounds interesting... but, need to be creative enuf to win this challenge... haha :D
I applaud your sensitivity toward this issue. I live on a rocky coast in Maine, USA where our water is obtained from wells that often run dry. We conserve every day, but it is oh so hard to get that message across to visitors!
Photographer should try some luck. ;)
