As a reminder, World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, is an annual United Nations Observance focusing on the importance of freshwater.
On this day, the World celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water.
It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis, a core focus of Sustainable Development Goal 6, which is water and sanitation for all by 2030.
