WORLD WATER DAY
If there is one thing we all need to survive, it is water. Clean water is so important, yet if we are honest, we don't really take time to think about water. So to help people take a few monments to think about water, 22 March is World Water Day:
The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/47/193 of 22 December 1992 by which 22 March of each year was declared World Day for Water, to be observed starting in 1993.

BBC Environment Corresondent Alex Kirby asks why water is one of the planet's biggest challenges.
So take some time and think about the water you use and what we can do to help conserve and keep it clean.
