Water Day | March 14

Location:
Northridge Center, USU
 
International World Water Day is held every year in March to focus global attention on the

importance of water and advocating for the sustainable management of our water resources.
An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio, Brazil. The United Nations
General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day, and
it has been held annually since then.
