World
Water Day atau biasa dikenal World Day for Water setiap tahunnya diadakan tanggal 22 Maret sebagai
sarana memusatkan memusatkan perhatian
pada pentingnya air
tawar dan advokasi untuk pengelolaan berkelanjutan sumber daya air
tawar.
This day was first formally proposed in Agenda 21 of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Majelis Umum PBB menanggapinya dengan menunjuk 22 Maret 1993 sebagai Hari Air Dunia pertama. Sejak tahun 1997, Dewan Air Dunia telah menarik ribuan orang untuk berpartisipasi dalam Forum Air Dunia selama minggu World Water Day. Lembaga yang berpartisipasi dan LSM telah menyoroti isu-isu seperti satu milyar orang-orang yang tanpa akses ke air bersih untuk minum dan peran jender dalam akses keluarga untuk air yang aman
Setiap tahun, World Water Day menyoroti aspek tertentu dari air tawar. I want saw you the different themes that have been the focus of World Water Day celebrations.
Water
for cities: responding to the urban challenge
Coordinated by UN-HABITAT. The communication

Organization (FAO)
Water section.
2010
Clean Water for a Healthy World
Coordinated by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP).
The communication and visual identity campaign is by FAO WATER, the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO)
Water section.
UN-Water is dedicating World Water Day
2010 to the theme of water quality, reflecting its importance alongside
quantity of the resource in water management
Clean water and war: in time of war the access to clean water is
frequently restricted because water supply or purification systems have been
destroyed, because water reserves are located in areas that have become
dangerous or because of massive displacement. People ultimately resort to
sources of water with a high health risk and many people contract water-borne
diseases.
Transboundary
Waters
Coordinated by the United Nations
Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO), with the
assistance of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Water section.
On the occasion of 2009 World Day for
Water, the ICRC called on
governments to ensure safe water and decent sanitation for civilians in
conflict zones. In many conflicts, disease kills more civilians than bullets.
2008
Sanitation
Coordinated by the United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF)
and the World Health Organization (WHO). The World Day for Water 2008 also coincides with the
International Year of Sanitation (2008), which was organized by the United
Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) in
collaboration with the UN-Water Task Force on Sanitation.
On March 21, 2008, The Guardian Weekly published a
special report on World Day for Water.
2007
Coping
With Water Scarcity
Coordinated by Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO).
2007's theme highlighted the increasing significance of water scarcity
worldwide and the need for increased integration and cooperation to ensure
sustainable, efficient and equitable management of scarce water resources, both
at international and local levels.
2006
Water
and Culture
Coordinated by United Nations Education,
Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO). The theme 'Water and Culture' of 2006 drew the
attention to the fact that there are as many ways of viewing, using, and
celebrating water as there are cultural traditions across the world.
2005
Water
for Life 2005-2015
Coordinated by the United Nations (UN). The United Nations
General Assembly at its 58th session in December 2003 agreed to proclaim the
years 2005 to 2015 as the International Decade for Action, "Water for
Life" (Water for Life Decade), and beginning with
World Water Day, March 22, 2005. The Water for Life decade set the world's
goals on "a greater focus on water-related issues, while striving to
ensure the participation of women in water-related development efforts, and
further cooperation at all levels to achieve water-related goals of the
Millennium Declaration, Johannesburg Plan of Implementation of the World Summit
for Sustainable Development and Agenda 21."
2004
Water and Disasters
Coordinated by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) and
the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR). The message of the
Day was: Weather, climate and water resources can have a devastating impact on
socio-economic development and on the well-being of humankind. According to the
World Meteorological Organization, weather and climate-related extreme events,
such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, storms, cyclones, floods and drought, account
for nearly 75 per cent of all disasters. They lead to an enormous toll of human
suffering, loss of life and economic damage. Monitoring these events,
predicting their movements and issuing timely warnings are essential to
mitigate the disastrous impact of such events on population and economy.
2003
Water
for Future
Coordinated by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP).
Water for the Future was the theme for World Water Day 2003. It called on each
one of us to maintain and improve the quality and quantity of fresh water available
to future generations. The goal was to inspire political and community action
and encourage greater global understanding of the need for more responsible
water use and conservation
2002
Water
for Development
Coordinated by International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA). The
theme for 2002, 'Water for Development,' carried the message that the poor and
deteriorating state of water resources in many parts of the world demand
integrated water resources planning and management.
2001
Coordinated by the World Health
Organization (WHO).
The message for the day was: "Concrete efforts are necessary to provide
clean drinking water and improve health as well as to increase awareness
world-wide of the problems and of the solutions. 22 March is a unique occasion
to remind everybody that solutions are possible. Use the resources on this site
to help turn words into political commitment and action."
2000
Water
for the 21st Century
Coordinated by United Nations Education,
Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO).
1999
Everyone
Lives Downstream
Coordinated by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP).
The 1999 World Water Day's primary message is that when it comes to using
freshwater, human beings, whether they live in a village or a megacity, cannot
isolate themselves from their neighbours. Rather, there are fundamental
linkages and dependencies between water users and uses in a given drainage
basin that affect everyone in that basin.
1998
Groundwater
- The Invisible Resource
Coordinated by the United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Nearly half of the world's population depends on groundwater sources for
drinking water supply and for other uses. The UN is concerned about three
primary gaps in groundwater management which have enormous implications for
sustainable development: (1) The accelerated degradation of groundwater
systems, through pollution of aquifers. (2) The lack of both professional and
public awareness about the sustainable use and economic importance of
groundwater resources generally. (3) The economic implications of not resolving
groundwater demand and supply management.
1997
The
World's Water: Is there enough?
Coordinated by United Nations Education,
Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO)and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The message for the
World Day for Water 1997 was that water is a basic requirement for all life,
yet water resources are facing more and more demands from, and competition
among, users.
1996
Water
for Thirsty Cities
World Day for Water 1996 emphasized the growing
water crisis faced by cities across the world which threatens the
sustainability of their social and economic development.

Caring
for our Water Resources is Everybody's Business
