World Water Day brings attention to the importance of keeping our global water supplies clean and safe, and to make sure that citizens worldwide have access to potable water.
This World Water Day on March 22, the motto is “Leaving No One Behind.” It is part of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, of which number Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6) is “water for all by 2030.”

- 2.1 billion people worldwide are without safe water at home
- More than 700 children under the age of five die every day from diarrhea linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation
- Globally, 80% of people who have to use hazardous and unprotected water sources live in rural areas
- Around 4 billion people – nearly two-thirds of the world’s population – experience severe water scarcity during at least one month of the year
- 700 million people worldwide could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030
