local.seafdecaqd.extractWorld Water Day is observed annually on March 22 to highlight the importance of this major component of the Earth’s hydrosphere, which is also vital to all known forms of life. The day-long celebration can be traced to the 1992 United Nations (UN) Conference on Environment and Development, where an international observance for water was recommended. In December 1992, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/47/193 by which March 22 of each year was declared World Day for Water. In 1993, the first World Water Day was observed. From then on, the UN-Water, an interagency mechanism that coordinates the efforts of UN entities and international organizations working on water and sanitation issues, sets a theme to highlight a specific aspect of freshwater or corresponds to a current or future challenge. This year’s theme focuses on “Water and Climate Change” to examine the link between water and the phenomenon of climate change.en
