World Water Day 2015
Communities in the World celebrated World Water Day on 22nd of March. It’s an annual event and a day to celebrate water. It’s a day to make a difference for the members of the global population who suffer from water related issues and to think of the possible actions to overcome these issues and to have better water security for all of us. In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly designated 22nd of March as the first World Water Day. World Water Day is celebrated around the world shining the spotlight on a different issues every year.
In 2015, the theme for World Water Day is ‘Water and Sustainable Development’. It’s about how water links to all areas we need to consider to create the future we want. Water is the main pillar for sustainable development. Water is an essential resource for development. It gives range of other services such as health, food and energy. Water contributes to improvements in social well-being and inclusive growth, affecting the livelihoods of billions. Therefore water is the core of life. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon declared, as the perils of climate change increasingly threaten the planet, the international community must unite in “a spirit of urgent cooperation” to address the many water-related challenges facing humanity.
Present changes in the climate has a direct impact over the water availability and water quality. Rapid reduction of the ground water table is a major concern with regards to water availability and the impacts are significant in the dry areas. Impacts over agriculture is one other major concern of climate change and it has direct relationship with water availability.
Although our planet is called the blue planet because 70% of it is covered with water; there is only 1% of water available for our consumption. Let’s make this day to understand the value of water and to understand our individual responsibility to use and conserve water in an effective manner. Let us join together and protect the water resources to sustain life on earth for us and for our future.
