World Water Day



Did you know yesterday was World Water Day? March 22 of every year since 1993 has been designated to be the holiday. It doesn’t mean we get a day off from work or school but a way for the United Nations to implement recommendations regarding water. Areas covered by the UN for World Water Day are Water for Health Biodiversity and the Environment Agriculture and Energy Sanitation It is aimed to help countries take positive steps to addressing water issues. The UN started the Water for Life Decade in 2005, which means 2010 is the middle of the program. The largest goal of the decade is to give sanitary and drinking water to the poorest people.
