History

World Water Day serves to raise awareness about water issues such as sanitation problems and water shortages in many parts of the world.
Today, 1 in 10 people lack access to safe and clean water, a problem which has a direct impact on the economy, health of the population and well-being of women and children worldwide.
In 1992, World Water Day was proposed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development.
The United Nations General Assembly responded to the proposition in 1993 by declaring March 22 as World Water Day with the Theme – “Water for Cities”
Each year, the UN-Water agency allocates a theme corresponding to a current or potential challenge for World Water Day.
