Celebrating World Water Day and National Day on December 18

Water is essential for life and plays a crucial role in our daily lives. It is the source of all life on earth and is vital for our well-being. On 22nd March, the world celebrates World Water Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of this precious resource. And on December 18, we celebrate National Day, a day that symbolizes the unity and strength of a nation.

World Water Day was first observed in 1993, after the United Nations General Assembly declared it as an international day of observance.

The theme for World Water Day 2020 is ‘Water and Climate Change’, emphasizing the urgent need to address the impact of climate change on our water resources.

Water scarcity affects more than 40% of people globally, and it is estimated that by 2050, at least one in four people will live in a country with a chronic water shortage.

Many factors contribute to this water crisis, including climate change, pollution, and overuse of resources.

The World Water Development Report 2020 found that water-related disasters have caused $178 billion in economic losses over the past two decades.

Water is also a critical player in the fight against climate change, as it is deeply interconnected with food security, energy production, and public health.

National Day on December 18 is a day of pride and celebration, no matter where you are in the world.

It commemorates the day a country became independent, gained sovereignty, or formed a new government.

On this day, people come together to honor their nation’s history, culture, and traditions.

Each country has its unique way of celebrating National Day, with parades, cultural shows, and other festivities being a common sight.

This day is not just about celebrating the past but also about uniting citizens and inspiring them to work towards a better future.

National Day is a time for reflection, gratitude, and hope for the future.

Both World Water Day and National Day hold great significance for our planet and its inhabitants.

They remind us that we are all connected, and our actions have a significant impact on the world around us.

This year, we can join hands to celebrate both these days by taking positive steps towards a more sustainable future for all.
