World Water Day 2021

3/1/2021 (Permalink)

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 March 22, 1993 as the first World Water Day. It has been held annually since then.

The theme in 2021 is Valuing Water.  Water means different things to different people.  This conversation is about what water means to you.  How is water important to your home and family life, your livelihood, your cultural practices, your wellbeing, your local environment?  By recording - and celebrating - all the different ways water benefits our lives, we can value water properly and safeguard it effectively for everyone.

World Water Day is an opportunity to learn more and be inspired to tell others. Read reports, watch videos and download teaching material from the international water community.
