Water News Gallery Showcasing Updates on Valuing Water
Water News Gallery by Voice Of Water, VOW101, a media project for Awareness on Valuing Water, a call for saving water resources.
Water also plays the critical role in the stability and prosperity of the world.
More than 3 billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. Yet, out of 153 countries that share rivers, lakes and aquifers with their neighbours, only 24 countries report having cooperation agreements for all their shared water.
As climate change impacts increase, and the global population grows, we must unite around protecting and conserving our most precious resource.
By working together to balance everyone’s human rights and needs, water can be a stabilizing force and a catalyst for sustainable development.
World Water Day is a United Nations (UN) observance coordinated by UN-Water. Every year, it raises awareness of a major water-related issue and inspires action to tackle the water and sanitation crisis.
This year’s Task Force of UN-Water Members and Partners is coordinated by the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and UN Educational, Scientific. and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
#1 Four billion people — almost two thirds of the world’s population — experience severe water scarcity for at least one month each year. #2 Over two billion people live in countries where water supply is inadequate. #3 Half of the world’s population could be living in areas facing water scarcity by as early as 2025. Some 700 million people could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030. #4 By 2040, roughly 1 in 4 children worldwide will be living in areas of extremely high water stress. (UNICEF).
