Today is water day, 22 March!!!
World Water Day is held every March 22. Recognized by the United Nations and the global community, World Water Day reminds us that much of the world still faces a global water, sanitation and hygiene crisis, and that it is our urgent obligation to act.
There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we ‘drink’ is embedded in the food we eat: producing 1 kilo of beef for example consumes 15,000 litres of water while 1 kilo of wheat ’drinks up’ 1,500 litres.
"Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody. "

Thank's Galina for your comment, here in my country we celebrate also earth day or family day, etx. Water is a life element, no one can survive without water so its good that we dedicate this day to it.

Hi Asma, i agree with you, at all water is life :)
NaeVi, thanks for reminding us about such miracle in our world as WATER. It seems that there’s much water on our planet, but really there’s little water on it. Very little water on the Earth is good for drinking. In many seas, rivers and lakes water is very dirty. I haven’t heard about Water’s Day, but it’s great that there’s such day when at least people think about NATURE
WoW!
I didn't know this. Thanks for informing us!
Water is not just a precious resourse,it is a sacred creation.
Water must be maintained drop by drop.......
