World Water day.
Hello Everyone My Name is Vivek Chaturvedi. I am writing a blog about World Water Day.
World Water Day is celebrated On 22 March every year. This day celebrated awareness about the importance of water and its conservation. It is focuses attention on the importance of water and how to preserve it. As we know that water is essential for life, without water we can't survive. Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. All plants and animals need water to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth.
About 60% of your body weight is made of water. You need it for every single body function. It flushes toxins from your organs, carries nutrients to your cells, cushions your joints, and helps you digest the food you eat.
Therefore, it is necessary to understand that natural resources are important for sustaining life on earth. Do you know that approx 2.1 billion people live without safe drinking water at home which affects their health and livelihoods? With climate change, the environment and ecosystem affect and result in the water-crises. Due to floods, drought, water pollution; vegetation, soil, rivers, and lakes are degrading.
So, World Water Day is celebrated by organising several events, distribute messages through social media, TV, educational events based on the importance of clean water and conservative measures, competitions, etc. We should plant trees, reconnect rivers to flood plains, restore wetlands, etc. that will help to rebalance the water cycle.
World Water Day: History
We know that across the world on 22nd March World Water Day is celebrated. In 1993, United Nations General Assembly decided to celebrate this day as an annual event to increase the awareness among the people about the need and conservation of water. Officially it was first added in the schedule 21 of the 1992 year “United Nations Conference on Environment and Development” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. And In 1993, the first World Water Day was observed.
Purpose of celebrating World Water Day
The United Nation and the members of nations celebrate this day by organizing campaigns and promote global water conservation through real activities. Basically, every year this campaign is promoted by the UN agencies to encourage the people, make them understand the water issues, and also coordinate with the international activities for World Water Day. UN-Water is also responsible for the selection of the World Water Day theme, also distribute messages globally, etc. In fact with UN members and agencies, various NGOs and nongovernment organisations get involved in the promotional activities to aware people. All the water issues are highlighted during this event and campaign.
Therefore, now the time comes to take steps forward and unite together to conserve our precious natural resources.
How much water have a drink in whole world one day?
We all heard that 8 glasses of water each day is best. But the truth is, how much water you need varies. But there are some basic guidelines:
For men, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends a total of 13 cups (about 3 liters) of fluid each day.
For women, they suggest 9 cups (a little over 2 liters) of fluid each day. Pregnant women should drink about 10 cups of water daily.
By the calculations on a one day daily basis, we use 10 billion tons of freshwater worldwide. A lot of organizations and environmentalists are saying that our water supply is dwindling but very few take it seriously.
Water is basic needs. We all not survives one day without water. But we could not understand about the value of water. We all waste water every day. We all get steps to save water. By Rai water harvesting, by planting many plants.
