On March 22, World Water Day focuses our attention on the Earth’s most vital resource. Ensuring clean water sources for all the world’s inhabitants is the goal of World Water Day.
World Water Day is the chance to remind ourselves that billions of people to this day live their lives without access to safe drinking water. As a fundamental human right, it is our job to conserve the water we do have as well as ensure access to those who need it.
As many different groups are overlooked when it comes to providing access to Earth’s most precious resource, the United Nations has taken the stance that “water services must meet the needs of marginalized groups and their voices must be heard in the decision-making process.”
In 1993 the first World Water Day was observed. The event was initially proposed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in December 1992. Each year there has been a theme associated with World Water Day to provide a cohesive mission and single-pointed focus.
The theme of World Water Day 2021 is “Valuing water”. The value of water is much more than its economic value – water has enormous and complex value for our households, food, culture, health, education, economics and the integrity of our natural environment.
The theme of World Water Day this year is "Groundwater, making the invisible visible".
