It is a day to celebrate water and to express solidarity with efforts that make a difference to members of the global population who suffer from water-related issues. Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of water. Environmental damage, together with climate change, is driving the water-related crises we see around the world. Floods, drought and water pollution are all made worse by degraded vegetation, soil, rivers and lakes. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that there are over 663 million people living without a safe water supply close to home, spending countless hours queuing or trekking to distant sources, and coping with the health impacts of using contaminated water.
