March 22 was declared World Water Day by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993. Since then, it has been celebrated with various events around the world.
This year, the UN initiative will go under the motto ‘Accelerating Change’.
The goal is to accelerate change to solve the water and sanitation crisis.
'... And because water affects us all, we need everyone to take action. That means you too! ...This is a once-in-a-generation moment for the world to unite around water. Play your part. Do what you can.' says the appeal published on the World Water Day website.
