When is World Water Day?

March 22nd every year is World Water Day (English: World Day for Water, or World Water Day).

In order to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of world water resources, according to the principle of water resources protection, development and management in chapter 18 of UN Agenda 265438+20th century, the 47th UN General Assembly adopted resolution 193, and decided to start with resolution 1993. The resolution invites governments to hold some specific publicity activities on this day according to their national conditions in order to raise public awareness of water conservation.

1996, the World Water Council, composed of experts and scholars on water issues and relevant international institutions, was established, and it was decided to hold a large-scale international conference, the World Water Forum, every three years before and after World Water Day.

The theme of World Water Day over the years is: 1994, caring about water resources.
