Each
year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of fresh water.
This year the theme was on the importance of sharing transboundary
waters. In the past, the focus has been on sanitation, coping
with
water scarcity, and water and culture. The annual day of observance and action is gaining more awareness each year through the efforts of the United Nations, non-governmental organizations and concerned individuals.
