Why do we celebrate World Water Day?

We all know that water is important for a healthy body. Therefore, UN General Assembly decided to call concentration towards the water related challenges.

Various NGOs including UN members and states agencies are also get involved in the promotion of clean water conservation focusing the public attention over all the important issues of water.

So as we are celebrating “World Water Day” every year, we should be aware of the fundamental and largely underappreciated role of water that it has in our lives, and reflect on how important it is that we continue to work to ensure that someday everyone is able to take benefit of this important resource in the same ways we enjoy today.
