It is dedicated this year to focus attention on water and health issues. The prime objective is to impact opinion on how to improve the current condition of water and health around the world.
International attention is increasing on such issues, however, much still needs to be done.
Such interventions include improving the quality of water in the home as well improving hygiene education at the household level. A number of events will be organised around the globe on 22 March. National celebrations are planned in Bhutan and Turkey. Italy, United States of America, New Zealand will have WWD festivals and public events. Water and health are common denominators of human existence.
