When is World Water Day and why does it matter for Afghanistan?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

World Water Day is observed on 22 March. The United Nations observance focuses global attention on freshwater and sustainable water management.

What the figure or term means

Drought, groundwater pressure, irrigation, safe drinking water, floods, and unequal local access make water a major Afghan development and humanitarian issue.

The day can support public education about systems, testing, maintenance, sanitation, and responsible water projects.

The date is fixed; annual themes and water statistics change.

Use the source publication date when connecting an observance or historical event to a current statistic or appeal.
