Water and Jobs: 2016 World Water Day

World Water Day is held internationally on the 22nd of March every year as an opportunity to focus attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro. The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day, since then each year focuses on a different issue.
A number of governmental and nongovernmental organizations promoting clean water and sustainable aquatic habitats have used World Water Day as a time to focus attention on the critical issues of our era. Events such as theatrical and musical celebrations, educational events, and campaigns to raise money for access to clean and affordable water are held worldwide on World Water Day. The occasion of World Water Day is also used to highlight required improvements for access to WASH(water, sanitation, hygiene) facilities in developing countries. Each year, World Water Day is celebrated to show the importance of water on the globe, and each year there is an annual theme.
Water and Jobs("Better water, better jobs") is the Theme for 2016 world water day. This theme shows the correlations between water and jobs created globally either directly or indirectly by water sources.
