MARCH 22: WORLD WATER DAY


International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.

I know that after the recent floods in Chiclana water is not something we want right now, but remember that  there are lots of people out there in the world who have no clean water: waterborne diseases cause the death of more than 1.5 million children each year.
