Today is World Wate rDay. The day focuses attention on the importance of freshwater and advocates for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. It raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water.
A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal VI : Water and Sanitation for all by 2030.
The theme of this year is Groundwater, Making the Invisible Visible. Groundwater accounts for 99 per cent of the world’s freshwater. This valuable resource provides critical benefits for people and ecosystems and must be protected from pollution and exploitation.
