World Water Day

Did you know that every year on 22 March, the world comes together to celebrate one of our most precious resources – water? World Water Day was first designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, and since then it has become an important event to raise awareness and take action towards the global water crisis.

In today’s world, access to clean water is a universal human right, yet millions of people around the world still do not have access to this basic necessity. According to the United Nations Secretary-General’s report on World Water Day 2021, over 2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water, and around 3 billion do not have access to proper handwashing facilities. In addition, water scarcity affects around 2.2 billion people, and this number is expected to rise due to population growth, climate change, and other factors.

Water is essential for life, and yet we often take it for granted. This is why World Water Day is so important – it helps to raise awareness about the global water crisis and encourages individuals and organizations to take action to ensure everyone has access to clean water.

This year, the theme for World Water Day is ‘Valuing Water’. This theme highlights the importance of reflecting on what water means to us and how we can better protect and manage this precious resource. To celebrate World Water Day, let’s take a deeper look at some of the important aspects of water and why it is so valuable to us.

The theme for World Water Day 2021 is ‘Valuing Water’.

Water is essential for life, but we often take it for granted.

This year, World Water Day encourages us to reflect on the value of water and take action to protect it.

Without access to clean water, not only is our health at risk, but also our education, income, and overall wellbeing.

According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 3 people globally do not have access to safe drinking water.

Water scarcity not only affects humans, but also has severe consequences for the environment and ecosystems.

Sustainable management and protection of water resources is crucial for a healthier and more sustainable future.

On World Water Day, let’s join hands to recognize the value of water and take steps to ensure everyone has access to it.
