This World Water Day, let's take an oath to celebrate water everyday

The World Water Day is obsered every year on March 22, with the intent to focus on the importance of water and the issues related to water resources. In the year 2020, the United Nations Organization will be taking up the issue of climate change and water. According to the UN, there is an intricate link between the global water crisis and the climate change.  

Urbanization, uncontrolled population, pollution and many other factors have been creating a major gap between the supply and demand of water on a global scale. Even though, the governments of many countries and the UN are taking up initiatives to spread awareness about the need to conserve water resources, the duty of implementation lies upon us. Adequate quantity of freshwater not only solves the water crisis but also helps in averting climate change.
