Water Day is celebrated every year on 22nd of March by the people all across the world.
The day was established to be celebrated as an annual event in the year 1993 by

as a World Day for Water to be celebrated on 22nd of March each year to increase the awareness
among the people about the importance, need and conservation of water.
It was first officially added in the
schedule 21 of the year 1992 “United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development” in the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and celebration was started from the
year 1993 to motivate the general public in order to get their support in water
conservation by avoiding the use of their taps for whole day.

recommendations as well as promoting the global water conservation through the
real activities. This campaign is specially promoted by one of the UN agencies
every year which involves encouraging the people to listen and understand about
the water issues as well as coordinating with the international activities for
the World Water Day. Since the beginning of this event celebration the UN-Water

of global messages as well as leading the UN agencies for celebrating the World
Day for Water.
