Water is a natural resource and is present on more than 70% of Earth's surface. It is widely used for both domestic and industrial uses for purposes such as drinking, washing, cooking. Earth is also known as a 'Blue Planet' because of the vastness of water present on it. There are various sources of water present here, such as wells, rivers, lakes, oceans, dams and streams. Practically, only 1% to 2% of the total water available on Earth is suitable for human use.

World Water Day is celebrated on 22nd March every year.

World Water Day will focus on the theme- 'Valuing Water', this year. This will extend beyond the concerns of cost to include environmental and socio-cultural values of water and its resources. World Water Day 2021 is about what water means to people. It emphasizes the value of water and how can we all collectively and individually protect this essential life resource.

Motto of Water Day seeks to focus attention on the global water crisis. People and organizations mark World Water Day every year by taking actions to mitigate the increasing water crisis in different ways. We all know that water is one of the basic necessities for every living being on this planet.
