Save Water Save Earth Save Environment
We all Know That Every Year on 22nd March we celebrate World Water Day and UN focus whole year on a Decided Theme . This Year Theme is ” Waste Water ” . we are providing you some information about this Day Below :-
World Water Day – what does it mean to you?
The annual event, on Wednesday, March 22, is a devastating reminder of one simple thing we take for granted – clean, safe water to drink, clean our things with and bathe in.
The day is held to urge people to tackle the global water crisis.
It’s a reminder that 1.8 billion people’s drinking water is contaminated with faeces.
Dirty drinking water is truly horrifying – drinking it puts people at risk of contracting everything from cholera and dysentery to typhoid and polio.
What is World Water Day?
World Water Day is part of a global mission to get safer water for all.
It’s a day for people to learn, get involved and take action.
This is the 24th year, and it’s organised by UN Water in collaboration with governments and partners.
The United Nations organisation sets a theme each year.
What are its origins?
The UN decided back in 1992 there needed to be more global awareness on water issues.
The United Nations General Assembly decided March 22, 1993, would be the first World Water Day, and it has been held annually since.
One of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is to make sure everyone in the world has access to safe water by 2030.
What is the theme for 2017?
This year World Water Day’s theme is wastewater.
What’s that?
Wastewater is water that has been used.
This includes water from homes, businesses, industries and institutions.
The term covers everything from sewage and bathwater to washing up water.
This year’s campaign, ‘Why waste water?’, is about reducing and reusing wastewater.
How can I waste less water?
Watar suggests taking these simple steps –
1. Turn off the tap while you’re brushing your teeth
2. Turn off the tap while washing up or scrubbing vegetables.
3. Put rubbish, oils, chemicals and food in the bin, not down the drain. The dirtier your wastewater, the more energy and money it costs to treat it.
4. Collect used water from your kitchen sink or bath and use it to water your plants
5. You cans also collect and use this water to wash your bike or car.
