UN helds World water day annually on
22nd March with objective to save fresh water around the world and spread the
importance of fresh water for future need.
The primary objective to held World Water
Day is to convey the message for importance of water in the life.
This year world water day 2020 is going to
be held on 22nd march. World water day 2020 theme is "water and climate
change- and how the two are inextricably linked."
There are three statement of the water day
2020, first is “We can’t afford to wait “. It is related to uncertainty in climate
conditions across different regions in the world. In recent years excess
amount of green house gases caused to increase in global warming which is
resulting in extreme weather conditions. These extreme weather conditions are
making water more scare, more unpredictable and more polluted.
All living things including humans needs
water for survival. Human do also need water for sanitation, healthcare , business,
education and industry. So to meet all the need , we need strong actions to
conserve more fresh water.
Now the second statement of the World water
day 2020 is “Water can help fight climate change “. The statement is related to sustainable,
affordable, sanitation and scalable solutions to save water.
As the global population is continuously increasing
as well as fresh water requirement is also increasing. But the situations are
not in favour of this condition. Water Pollution
becomes the major problem around the world as it is degrading the water
resources. Degradation of water resourced will lead to shortage of fresh water.
Now the third statement is “Everyone has a
role to play”. Means we cannot meet target unless we contribute some effort. “Warnings
are necessary but fear fear will not get the job done” said by United nations
General secretary.
Climate change leads to adverse
effect on the water cycle in various regions. As we have observed the
disturbance in the climate pattern in recent years as heavy snowfall, irregular
distribution of rainfall , thunderstorms, cyclones etc.
Water is the form of energy of the
environment which drive the different climatic cycle on the earth. When this
driving energy will be disturbed, it will also lead to disturbance of climate.
If we look at history of the earth , the
water plays an important role for the movement of layers of the earth by
influencing the climate. So to make a eco-friendly climate conditions , there is a need to
implement a sustainable management.
Sustainable management of the water
implicates the use of water resources without influencing the future
availability of the water resource.
Green house gases play a very important
role in global climate crisis. Global climate crisis is affecting the water
cycle with large variability across the world, thus reducing the prediction for
availability and demand of water. Climate crisis also affect the water
quality and reduces the fresh water availability.
Many organizations are working towards the
sustainable management of resources to save water. There is need for a policy
intervention including urban planning, use of early warning system, risk
management and community engagement to reduce the risk of flood and drought
conditions from climate change.
Conclusions of World Water Day Theme 2020:
WE SHOULD PREPARE FOR BETTER TOMORROW.
To meet the climate change events, action
plan needs to be incorporated in different regions with sustainable development
activities.
Water is the most precious resource we
have this planet. Without water we can’t imagine life on the earth. So we must
use the water responsibly and balance our society need with equal opportunity
to all categories.
We are born for the development of our society,
city and country, but we must perform the action plans sustainable development.
Education plays an important role for
awareness toward the conservation of water and environment. We should
incorporate the things that motivate the students to save water.
Climate change can feel scary and daunting
but your one small step to save water can make a big difference.
Here are some best ways to save water and climate
1.Take shower in under five minutes to save water.
2.Eat more plant based meal.
3. Turn off tech you are not using.
4.Don't throw away edible food.
5.Shop sustainably- A typical pair of jeans takes 10000 litres of water to produce.
6. Growing mangroves and other natural buffers to reduce green house gases.
7. Implement rain water harvesting to use water in dry days.
8.Treat waste water for irrigation purposes.
9. Conserve each drop of rain water.
10. Motivate people to participate in half glass campaign. Means whenever someone ask for water offer him/her half glass of water only.
11. Encourage people to take part in water conservation practices.
