WATER SCARCITY: How do we cope?
In 1992, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed March 22, as World Water Day with the goal to inspire action and encourage understanding of the need for more responsible water use and conservation. Vigorous action taken by all sectors, including individuals and communities, will help ensure that there is water for all. World Water Day, March 22, 2005, was the start of the United Nations International Decade for Action.
The theme of World Water Day 2007 is "Coping with Water Scarcity".
