World Water Day - 22 March

World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing 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). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.
Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. In 2013, in reflection of the International Year of Water Cooperation, World Water Day is also dedicated to the theme of cooperation around water and is coordinated by UNESCO in collaboration with UNECE and UNDESA on behalf of UN-Water.

聯合國大會決議2013年為聯合國『國際水資源合作年』，2013年3月22日的世界水資源日，也將致力於水資源的互助合作；因此，聯合國水組織已呼籲教科文組織，領導2013年的聯合國『國際水資源合作年』，特別是因為本組織融合自然、社會科學、教育、文化和通信多種學科的獨特方法，基於水具有的普遍性本質，聯合國『國際水資源合作年』自然而然的會包含並觸及到這些面向。
