Every year, on the 22nd of March, World Water Day is observed to spread awareness and educate people about the importance of water, and why it should be conserved.
Water is one of the most essential components for the sustenance of life on earth. From climate change to resource depletion, the 21st century has witnessed serious environmental problems. In fact a water crisis is not far from making an entry into the list, and this is where spreading awareness on water and its resources takes priority this #WorldWaterDay .
80% of India’s 1.35 billion people are dependent on groundwater, either for drinking or irrigation purposes. This highlights the importance of groundwater and its many uses, even though its purposes are largely overlooked.
The theme for this year’s Water Day is “Groundwater – Making the Invisible Visible.”
