With the increasing pressures on our environment and countless experts alerting us to impending crises, it is worth remembering that there is just one natural resource on which all life on our planet depends - but which most of us take for granted: H2O - Water. But for the 1.1 billion people who currently have no access to safe, drinking water, and the 4 billion for whom WWF projects it will be a scarcity by 2050, this shortage is a matter to be taken very seriously.
For this reason, any single body of fresh, clean water is already sought after by many different groups, whether by flora, fauna, industry, agriculture, municipalities or, those who just like to row.
Rowing is a clean water sport, and so rowers have a number of very good reasons to be part of the "Clean water movement". On the one hand, our sport and its future depend on it; but on the other hand, we cannot be selfish in our approach to its use. As a sports federation, FISA believes that we all have a responsibility to apply environmentally-sustainable practices in the use and management of water. But we must do more and we must encourage others to do the same.
Fortunately, we have a great number of knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic people within our rowing family around the globe. And we know that sport is a very powerful means of communication to all age groups. So FISA has decided not to just take part in the debate, but to take a leadership position.
In 2011 they commenced a Strategic Alliance with WWF International (World Wide Fund for Nature). WWF is the world’s largest and most respected independent nature conservation organisation, with more than 5 million supporters and a network active in more than 100 countries across all continents. Since its creation in 1961, it has maintained a constant record of success. Today, WWF runs about 1,300 projects around the world at any one time and employs more than 5,400 people worldwide. WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.
Significantly, WWF is working to protect freshwater ecosystems and improve water access, efficiency, and allocation for people and the environment, which is why their partnership is a perfect fit in promoting clean water, one of the main priorities of WWF.
Care for the environment. So, not only we will gain in quality of life we and other living beings, but also take care of our sport, rowing!
For some time now some wonder ... The Spanish rowing has a future? Do our athletes are able to compete in the Olympic Games? The answer to these questions was rapid, forceful and concise; Yes.
But to build that future, certainly it requires changing the current Federal Management (today actually does not exist). Thus, a group of referees, executives, rowers and Technicians very diverse geographical and ideological origins, gradually gave shape to an idea that beating and commented on all National Regatta, in which it was crying and insistence a radical change in the course of our sport.
It does not try to change some people by others, to continue doing more or less the same. All we have to do is open a new path, a different path, seeking the best for our sport, from the debate and dialogue.
It is the duty of all to build it from both posts or executive positions, and from participation bodies. Surely you can also contribute.
Today we focus on the people who for various reasons khan not practice sport rowing but adapts. Rowing adapted is to form of the sport of rowing for people with disabilities, physical limitations or intellectuals, among which hearing impairment, paraplegia, quadriplegia, Down syndrome, blindness, visual impairment, multiple sclerosis, cerebral forked palsy is and spina.
Although it is not until the 2008 Summer Paralympics when competing for the first swindles Paralympic athletes in this discipline, since 2005 the tests for disabled part of the sports program at the International Championships of the International Rowing Federation (FISA) and for dwells twenty years it are been practiced in many clubs around the world.
There is the possibility of combining different disabilities within the same crew, allowing the integration of their components through sport.
Fundamental The techniques adapted rowing ploughs the same ace for odd number - disabled people rowing. Participants learn the elements of the race: strength, recovery, attack, management of trains, etc. Normal The learning curls is comparable to any novice rower and participants experience the same thrill in discovering our sport.
Adaptive Rowing unreturn in male and female athletes and, currently divided into four boat classes which ploughs(plough) part of the program of the World Championships FISA:
LTA4 +, they are disabled rowers but function in arms trunk and legs, and hard to slide the seat, can participate in this class are four types of disabilities and mixed vessels.
TA2x are athletes who have trunk movement but do not have the necessary strength in the lower extremities to slide the seat and propel the boat. Participants may be physically disabled and mixed cerebral palsy and boats.
AW1x, athletes without function or minimal trunk function, being female participation and physical disabilities may be paralyzed or brain.
AM1x, athletes without function or minimal trunk function, being male participation and may be physically disabled or cerebral palsy.
The tours are over a distance of 1000 meters for the four tests.

Thirty-two tonnes of dead fish have been cleared out of the lagoon where Olympic rowing and canoeing events will take place at Rio 2016. Some experts believe pollution is to blame, while others claim it is down to a sudden drop in water temperature.
The Games begin in Rio de Janeiro on 5 August next year.
Tonnes of dead fish have been washed up at the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas at regular intervals for more than a decade. In February, thousands of dead fish were discovered in Guanabara Bay, which will host the sailing events. The venue has previously caused concern because of the levels of refuse and untreated sewage in the water.
In January, Brazilian government officials admitted they would miss their target of an 80% reduction in water pollution by the start of the Olympics.
