Over 500 women form world's biggest 'W' for water conservation

With an aim to push forward the cause of water conservation, more than 500 women were brought together here in the national capital by an umbrella organisation of women-led ventures in areas of art, architecture, design and engineering to form the world's largest human formation of the letter 'W'.

The event marked the beginning of a community named 'Women Water Warriors', with the letter 'W' representing women standing for the water conservation cause.

Initiated by WADE Foundation Chairperson Vertica Dvivedi, the massive on-ground awareness campaign at NSIC Ground in Okhla area of the national capital last weekend brought together more than 500 women from various fields for a common purpose in different capacities.

Dvivedi, also the founder of WADE Asia (the continent's largest platform for women architects, designers, artists and engineers), said, "Creating a world record and getting recognized by the Asia Book of Records is very encouraging for all the Women Water Warriors. I consider it as the beginning for many more great things to come."
