World Water Day! Let us Explore...#Blue4Water

World Water Day – what does it mean to you?

The annual event, on Wednesday, March 22, is a devastating reminder of one simple thing we take for granted – clean, safe water to drink, clean our things with and bathe in.

The day is held to urge people to tackle the global water crisis.

It’s a reminder that 1.8 billion people’s drinking water is contaminated with faeces.

Dirty drinking water is truly horrifying – drinking it puts people at risk of contracting everything from cholera and dysentery to typhoid and polio.

What is World Water Day?

World Water Day is part of a global mission to get safer water for all.

It’s a day for people to learn, get involved and take action.

This is the 24th year, and it’s organised by UN Water in collaboration with governments and partners.

The United Nations organisation sets a theme each year.

How can I waste less water?

UN Water suggests taking these simple steps –

1. Turn off the tap while you’re brushing your teeth

2. Turn off the tap while washing up or scrubbing vegetables.

3. Put rubbish, oils, chemicals and food in the bin, not down the drain. The dirtier your wastewater, the more energy and money it costs to treat it.

4. Collect used water from your kitchen sink or bath and use it to water your plants

5. You cans also collect and use this water to wash your bike or car.

How else can I get involved in World Water Day 2017?

You can take part in Water Aid UK’s campaign to raise awareness and funds.

Whether you decide to dye your hair blue, bake blue cakes to sell in the office or simply use the hashtag #Blue4Water on social media to explain why you’re supporting the day, is up to you.

What are its origins?

The UN decided back in 1992 there needed to be more global awareness on water issues.

The United Nations General Assembly decided March 22, 1993, would be the first World Water Day, and it has been held annually since.

One of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is to make sure everyone in the world has access to safe water by 2030.

What is the theme for 2017?

This year World Water Day’s theme is wastewater.

What’s that?

Wastewater is water that has been used.

This includes water from homes, businesses, industries and institutions.

The term covers everything from sewage and bathwater to washing up water.

This year’s campaign, ‘Why waste water?’, is about reducing and reusing wastewater.

What is International Women's Day?

It is a global celebration which aims to inspire women in countries across the world.

The tradition began with the first National Women's Day in 1909 and its roots are in campaigning for better pay and voting rights.

This year, events will take place across Britain and the world to celebrate the achievements of women and hopefully inspire others.

Today EasyJet has operated a flight with an all-female crew. The captain, first officer and four cabin crew for the flight from London Gatwick to Madrid were all women.The flight was captained by Kate McWilliams, believed to be the world's youngest female commercial airline captain.

Here in Eliud International School, we are already part of the celebration. This is because of the huge regard we have for the women of our world.
