Conceived in 1992, World WaterDay grew out of the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio De janeiro to draw attention to the critical lack of clean, safe drinking water worldwide.
The first obsevance was March 22, 1993, and today World Water day is celebrated around the world in many differentways. In Fort McMurray, Alberta you can attend their wave maker celebration and in Ottawa, Ontario you can see the delivey of the National Toilet Seat Petitin – aimed at making a stink about the on-going, clean water crisis in the developing world!
The goal from 2005 to 2015 is to halve the prportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. So tomorrow, conserve a little and find out how you can make a huge impact, however modest your effort.
