2016 is the year of Water and Jobs (“Better water, better jobs”) – This theme shows the correlations between water and jobs created either directly or indirectly by water sources on the globe.
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 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day. It has been held annually since then. Each year, UN-Water � the entity that coordinates the UNs work on water and sanitation sets a theme for World Water Day corresponding to a current or future challenge. The engagement campaign is coordinated by one or several of the UN-Water Members with a related mandate.
World Water Day is an annual event celebrated on March 22.
The day focuses attention on the importance of freshwater and advocates for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
The UN and its member nations devote this day to implementing UN recommendations and promoting concrete activities within their countries regarding the world’s water resources.
Additionally, a number of nongovernmental organizations promoting clean water and sustainable aquatic habitats have used World Water Day as a time to focus attention on the critical issues of our era.
Events such as theatrical and musical celebrations, educational events, and campaigns to raise money for access to clean and affordable water are held worldwide on World Water Day, or on convenient dates close to March 22.
Each year, World Water Day is celebrated to show the importance of water on the globe, and each year there is an annual theme.
