The World Water Day is observed on 22 March every year, to raise awareness about the importance of water. The theme this year is, 'Nature for Water' - exploring nature-based solutions to the water challenges the world faces in the 21st century. 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.
