World Water Day

Today is an international day to celebrate fresh water!

Every year since 1993, March 22nd has been a day to focus on one aspect of the world’s freshwater resources, this year the focus is on water quality. The goals of this years campaign are to:

  • Raise awareness about sustaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being through addressing the increasing water quality challenges in water management and
  • Raise the profile of water quality by encouraging governments, organizations, communities, and individuals around the world to actively engage in proactively addressing water quality e.g. in pollution prevention, clean up and restoration.
