In 1720, the plague hit hard. A century later, 1820 brought deadly cholera. Then 1920 saw the Spanish Flu infect 500 million people. Now, in 2020, we’re facing the Coronavirus pandemic. It feels like nature’s sending us a message every 100 years: learn from past mistakes and build a better, more sustainable future.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\nIf you’re serious about protecting our planet and saving lives, start by learning about World Water Day. It’s a UN observance held every year on March 22nd. This day is all about showing people the real value of freshwater, one of Earth’s most precious resources. Here, you’ll discover why this day matters and how you can help make our planet a better place by saving freshwater.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\nHistorical Background<\/b>\\\\n\\\\nThe UN General Assembly made World Water Day an official observance in 1992, and we first celebrated it in 1993. Over time, it’s become even more important because freshwater sources are limited, and we really need to protect them. That’s why we’ve added more observances to save freshwater. The newest one is the International Decade for Action on Water for Sustainable Development, which started in 2018 and runs until 2028. These efforts remind us that water and sanitation are key to reducing poverty, growing our economy, and most importantly, keeping our environment healthy.<\/span>\\\\n\\\\nWorld Water Day 2020<\/b>\\\\n\\\\nWorld Water Day 2020 helps people understand water issues and why saving water is so important.
