World Water Day 23.03.2022

The importance of water

World Water Day, held on 22nd March every year since 1993, focuses on the importance of freshwater.

History of the Day

The idea for this international day goes back to 1992, the year in which the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro took place. That same year, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution by which 22nd March of each year was declared World Day for Water, to be observed starting in 1993.
