5. World Water day is a day for
people to show support and
appreciate the fresh water (Non
salty water) which is only 1%
of the world water

6. March 22th Is World water day since 1993 with
new goals to achieve each year.

7. This day was first formally proposed in Agenda
21 of the 1992 United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro.
The United Nations (UN) designated 22 March as
International World Water Day in 1992 at the
same conference.
In 1993, the first World Water Day was
designated by the United Nations General
Assembly and each year since then has focused
on a different issue

8. Hydroelectric, nuclear and thermal energy
sources require the use of water resources to help
them generate. Equally, pumping, treating and
transporting water to numerous consumers
requires about 8% of the global energy
generation.

9. Access to clean drinking water is a fundamental
right, but it is not a fact in many parts of the
world. Contaminated water causes 1.5 million
deaths a year, 2.5 billion people live without basic
sanitation and one in six people does not have
access to clean water.

10. Polluted water isn’t just dirty—it’s deadly. Some
1.8 million people die every year of diarrheal
diseases like cholera. Tens of millions of others
are seriously sickened by a host of water-related
ailments—many of which are easily preventable.

11. Different themes are created every year with new
goals t achieve
2017- Waste Water
2016- Better Water Better Jobs
2015- Water and Sustainable Development
2014- Water and Energy

12. In 2017, the theme is "Why Waste Water?" which
is about reducing and reusing wastewater.
To increase the recycling and safe reuse of water
across the globe.[14]

13. The 2016 theme of "Better water, better
jobs" highlighted the correlation between water
and job creation
Industries heavily dependent on water like
textiles and agriculture

14. The 2014 theme of Water and Energy gave an
opportunity for emphasizing the close linkages
and interdependence of water and energy.
Generating and transmitting energy requires the
use of water resources, particularly for
hydroelectric, nuclear, and thermal energy
sources.
