In order to draw attention to the importance that water plays in everyone's lives, and raise our consciences about the need to take actions to solve the water crisis, the United Nations declared March 22 as World Water Day. Water - http://worldwaterday.org/.
For 2018, the theme of World Water Day will be 'Nature for Water', to explore natural-based solutions to the challenges that water poses to us in the 21st century.
Damaged ecosystems affect the quantity and quality of water available for human consumption. Currently, 2 billion people live without access to clean water in their homes, affecting their health, education and quality of life.
The vast majority of water waste – from our homes, cities, industry and agricultural activity – around the world is not treated properly and returns to nature, contaminating water and losing valuable nutrients and other reusable materials. For example, reducing, reusing and correctly treating liquid waste in agricultural activity protects workers, farmers and consumers, as well as promotes safe food, health and well-being.
This is why Sustainable Development Goal No. 6 commits the world to ensuring that everyone has access to drinking water by 2030, and includes a series of goals to protect the natural environment and reduce pollution.
