World Water Day is an international observance day,
marked on March 22 every year, to highlight freshwater's importance for
everyone.
Water is vital for all forms of life and the
attraction of existence. It is an essential nutrient; if there is no water,
there would be no life on earth. Water is a valuable and indispensable
resource; it plays a vital role in the human body.
This is a day to raise awareness and inspire people
worldwide in the face of water crises and take action to manage freshwater
resources.
World Water Day supports the achievement of the SDG-6, which calls for water and sanitation for all by targeting universal access
to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.
Today, the climate is changing at an alarming rate,
becoming the greatest urgency for humanity worldwide. The response to it has
been inadequate, with a significant rise in carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) over
the past decade.
Water can help fight climate change. Efficient
water usage can help tackle the different impacts of climate change itself. In
recent years, extreme weather events have become more frequent and intense
across the country. The consistent seasonal cycle and reliability of the annual
monsoons have been disturbed.
Furthermore, the steady combination of rain and sun
has altered long periods of inadequate rainfall, followed by heavy rain causing
droughts and floods. Adaptation and mitigation strategies are therefore needed
to cope with the climate crisis.
We can survive up to several weeks without food,
but only a few days without water.
It is about taking action to tackle it. Therefore,
let’s save it to save the planet.
