Did you know that today is World Water
Day!!...


World Water Day is an international
observance and an opportunity to learn
more about water related issues, be
inspired to tell others and take action to
make a difference. World Water Day dates
back to the 1992 United Nations
Conference on Environment and
Development where an international
observance for water was recommended.


The United Nations General Assembly
responded by designating 22 March 1993
as the first World Water Day. It has been
held annually since then. Each year, UN-
Water — the entity that coordinates the
UN’s work on water and sanitation — sets
a theme for World Water Day corresponding
to a current or future challenge.

The
engagement campaign is coordinated by
one or several of the UN-Water Members
with a related mandate.


The UN and its member nations devote this
day to implementing UN recommendations
and promoting concrete activities within
their countries regarding the world's water
resources. Additionally, a number of
nongovernmental organizations promoting
clean water and sustainable aquatic
habitats have used World Water Day as a
time to focus attention on the critical issues
of our era.


Events such as theatrical and musical
celebrations, educational events, and
campaigns to raise money for access to
clean and affordable water are held
worldwide on World Water Day.

Today is a day to appreciate access to good
and clean water, 1 of 10 people lack access
to clean water, let us avoid wasting of
water, according to research, the water we
have today is the only water this planet will
ever have.
