International World Water Day 2011 - 22 March 201121.03.201122 March is the International World Water Day (WWD). Following a decision of the General Assembly in 1993, WWD is held annually on this day as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. The theme of this year - 'Water and Urbanization' - provides a good opportunity to discuss about how to tackle urban water and sanitation challenges. To mark this occasion, the UN-HABITAT and UN-Water are co-organizing with the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) celebrations of the event, with presentations and debates to take place at the International Conference in Cape Town, South Africa. |
