World Water Day (22 March)
Water is our most valuable natural asset and is at the core of sustainable development. Life could not exist on Earth without water. Water resources, and the range of services they provide, also underpin poverty eradication, economic growth and environmental sustainability. From food and energy security to human and environmental health, water contributes to improvements in social well-being and inclusive growth, affecting the livelihoods of billions.
