March 22nd is World Water Day
At Office H2O, we're celebrating World Water Day, an annual event held on March 22nd since 1993. This day highlights the critical importance of freshwater and aims to raise global awareness about the fact that over 2.2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water. The purpose of World Water Day is to encourage people worldwide to learn more about water-related issues and take meaningful action.
Each year, the theme of World Water Day focuses on different aspects of water challenges, such as scarcity, pollution, inadequate sanitation, and the effects of climate change. Today, we’re taking a closer look at past themes, including the one from 2021, to inspire you to think about the value of water in your life and how you can contribute to making a difference.
**World Water Day 2018: Nature for Water**
In 2018, the theme "Nature for Water" emphasized using natural solutions to address global water challenges. This included restoring wetlands, building green infrastructure, and planting forests—methods that help manage floods, droughts, and pollution. Experts believe these nature-based approaches can restore the water cycle and improve both human health and ecosystems.
**World Water Day 2019: Leaving No One Behind**
The 2019 theme focused on ensuring that no one is left out when it comes to accessing clean water. Marginalized communities often face barriers to safe water, and the campaign urged governments and organizations to include their voices in decision-making processes. Access to water is not just a basic need—it’s a human right.
**World Water Day 2020: Water and Climate Change**
In 2020, the conversation shifted to the link between water and climate change. As the climate continues to change, so do the availability and quality of water resources. The campaign highlighted the need for climate policies that prioritize water and emphasized that water solutions can also help combat climate change.
**World Water Day 2021: Valuing Water**
This year's theme, "Valuing Water," goes beyond price to explore the environmental, social, and cultural significance of water. It encourages people to reflect on what water means to them and to engage in discussions about its true value. A key event this year was the 7-day "World Water Run," which aimed to raise awareness about the importance of water as a finite resource.
With predictions of a 40% shortfall in usable water supplies within the next decade, it's more important than ever to recognize the value of every drop.
At Office H2O, we want to remind everyone that access to clean, safe drinking water is something many of us take for granted. While 11% of the world's population lacks access to improved water sources, we here in the U.S. have a much better situation. Our bottleless water systems make clean, safe water more accessible than ever, using advanced 9-stage filtration technology to ensure purity.
Additionally, our touch-free bottleless water coolers are perfect for today’s environment, featuring a foot pedal for easy, hygienic access to purified water. By choosing our systems, you're not only getting clean water but also helping protect the planet—one drop at a time.
