Int'l water forum to start Sun. in Kyoto

NARA, Japan - Members of the World Water Council and the National Steering Committee for the third World Water Forum hold a joint session at Todaiji Temple in Nara on March 15, the eve of the opening of the forum in Kyoto. Todaiji was chosen as the venue for the meeting because a popular ceremony known as Omizutori (literally, ''water-drawing'') involving a water offering to the Eleven Headed Kannon has been held annually in March at the temple for over 1,250 years.
