World Water Day

March 22, Friday

World Water Day is celebrated annually on 22 March. The day was established by the UN General Assembly in 1993 to raise awareness of the importance of water for life and the need for its sustainable use and protection. Water is one of the most important natural resources, and its availability, quality and management are of great importance for human health and well-being, as well as for the planet’s ecosystems.
