World Water Day - 22nd March 2010

This is a United Nations Day.

The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.

UN-Water has chosen ”Communicating Water Quality Challenges and Opportunities” as theme for World Water Day 2010. The overall goal of the World Water Day on 22 March 2010 campaign is to raise the profile of water quality at the political level so that water quality considerations are made alongside those of water quantity.

The 2010 World Water Day 's theme; ‘It’s a Water Celebration’. During the 2010 World Water Day Celebration there shall be the launch of the Community Health Education and School Sanitation (CHESS) Africa Project, which aims at not only at helping communities and schools understand the importance of water but actually working in collaboration with these communities and schools to provide them with clean/safe water and adequate sanitation.
