The World Health Organization (WHO) once again invites us to reflect on the importance of this precious resource for the world, celebrating its World Day. The chosen theme for this year 2021 is “Let’s Value Water.”

Under this slogan, we aim to contemplate what water means to people, its true value, and how we can protect this finite and irreplaceable resource. This presents an opportunity to raise awareness among the population about the problem surrounding the worsening scarcity of water and the escalating pollution.

According to data from the WHO and UNICEF in 2019, 2.2 billion people had insufficient access to safe drinking water sources, and 4.2 billion live in areas with unsafe water sanitation systems. It is essential to give more value to environmental protection to ensure the supply of quality water for everyone.

The United Nations (UN) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimate that by 2030, the global population will inhabit regions facing water scarcity, and by 2025, the population will multiply by four, thus increasing water consumption. Ultimately, there’s a need to become more aware and make a more responsible use of water.

World Water Day is celebrated to promote and raise awareness about the significance of this resource for people’s health. Almost all social and economic activities significantly rely on the supply of fresh water and its quality.

#Water2me is the initiative launched this year on social media, aiming to spark conversations and gather comments from different people around the world about the meaning and value of water for each of them.

At AQUACORP, we acknowledge that water is a right for all individuals. That’s why we work and will continue to work to achieve sustainability and access to a supply of quality water for the entire global population in all parts of the world.
