World Water Day
On March 22, World Water Day focuses our attention on the Earth's most essential resource. World Water Day's aim is to ensure safe water sources for all the world's inhabitants.
The opportunity to remind ourselves that billions of people live their lives without access to safe drinking water is the reason on World Water Day. It is our job to conserve the water we have as well as ensure access to those who need it as a fundamental human right.
The United Nations has taken the position that "water services must satisfy the needs of marginalized groups and their voices must be heard in the decision-making process" as a key component of Earth's most valuable resource. As many different groups are ignored, many different groups are ignored.
It is our job to educate ourselves on the laws and regulations surrounding our water use in order to ensure that no one is left behind. The water challenges we face vary from region to region. The more we know how to conserve water by better understanding the challenges we face in conserving water, the more prepared we'll be to supply water in the future.
Try this: Pour yourself a glass of water and stare at it closely. Take a moment to appreciate it. When you're ready, take a sip and see how your body eagerly accepts it. Be gracious for this opportunity, acknowledge that there are people on this very day who are unable to enjoy the same privileges. In the long run, please help ensure that everyone has access to fresh water in the near future.

History
In 1993, the first World Water Day was observed. In Rio de Janeiro, 1992, the event was first suggested at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in December 1992. Each year, there has been a theme linked to World Water Day to create a united mission and single-pointed focus.
